I've dropped the union before and will watch this closely.
It still floors me, changing the topic a little, how people really think teachers do nothing but babysit. I'm reading and rereading this BS on facebook from people in business who act as if we teachers aren't good enough to do anything. When I chime in that I've worked on some darn fine teams and that many of the teachers I've worked with work elsewhere and are often asked to be management, they balk and/or say things about their wives being teachers... Those who can, teach!
