Why Teacher Unions want to fire teachers

Friends of Dave has a funny report on why Detroit Teacher's Union Wants to Fire 70 Teachers:

-----------
I was initially surprised when I saw a report on EIA Online that the Detroit Federation of Teachers is working to terminate 70 teachers in their district. What did these teachers do? Were they just poor teachers? Did they commit a criminal act? Was it an administrator just being arbitrary in their evaluations?
Nope, none of those. These teachers are guilty of an even worse crime. They're late on their union dues.

-----------

As Dave points out teacher unions are notorious for protecting teachers. Teachers who have commited crimes will be protected by their unions, aggressive protected. Normally it is almost impossible to fire bad teachers.

Yet if the teachers won't pay their dues, the unions go after them.
