They have these things because when the school systems were set up, children had to be off for the summer months to help with harvest etc. They had dual obligations to the family farm/business and to their education. The "summer vacation" and "spring break" are gifts from the gods of agriculture not unionization. A union in this realm is only as valid as their ability to protect the ineffectual, this is what they have pigeon holed themselves to be. Anyone else in the arena of education would need not worry- performance is rewarded. The weak need a union the capable need only their ability. -In this industry, as I stated above there are CERTAINLY industries where unions provide great benefits to the employees, the industry they work within and the final consumer. The teachers union only provides benefit to the employees, the industry and the consumers reap no benefit.
