On every possible measure of fairness and effectiveness, union states come out better:
school funding adequacy and equitability
teacher salaries
student achievement
achievement 'gap'
I wonder how the comparison would turn out if we also looked at factors such as safety and violence in the schools? I suspect if we looked at sports performance, we might find a positive correlation with 'right-to-work' (nonunion) policies. That's my own take on it, based on personal observations.
