Who has said that? I don't think anyone talks about how crappy it is. You may think it's crappy, but that is your opinion.
then in the next sentence say how we should be excited to negotiate for ourselves and call us scared. you cant have it both ways.
I don't see anyone trying to do so?
also i was thinking these "Bad Employees" who hired them? the union didnt. even after being hired they made it worse by letting them get in the union after a year of teaching....so if they were bad they should be fired after one year before getting in the union. these are the same people you want to put in charge on a yearly basis for evaluating every teacher every year. they obviously by your admission dont do a good job of it. they are where your problem lies more than the union because even with our union you can fire someone with the proper documentation which only requires more effort on the administrator to collect. who here has said how exciting it is to be out in the private sector negotiating for themselves.
I can only tell you from experience with the AFGE, but people will do the bare minimum once they get into the Union. The non-union employees were PIP'd if they performed like the AFGE employees, but because of the CBA, the AFGE employees could get away with doing bare minimum.
