Victor Mitchell: Teachers unions are about power not about helping teachers

He's also spoiling for a fight with teachers unions. Mitchell said he would weaken them by offering new teachers incentives not to join the union ("there can be any number of options available," including compensation). as well as curriculum flexibility, pay for performance and other education initiatives that Republican voters might love but Democratic legislators won't allow. "The unions don't want to give up any power, at the end of the day," Mitchell said.
