BOSTON — Critics who say unions block education reforms and make it virtually impossible to fire bad teachers will offer 10 instructors it deems the nation’s worst $10,000 to quit their careers.
The Center for Union Facts, a Washington-based nonprofit, will launch a campaign today spending $1 million on ads. It also says it’s starting a website documenting how far unions go to protect bad teachers.
It’s inviting nominations for a contest to determine the nation’s worst unionized teachers. The “winners” will be offered $10,000 each if they permanently resign or retire from education — if they sign a release agreeing to have their name and the reasons for their selection published.
