Steve Jobs rails on teachers unions
I couldn't agree more.

Might say the same thing about GM/Ford/Chrysler as well.

John Gruber uncovers a recent meeting of the minds between Apple's Steve Jobs and Dell's founder Michael Dell at the Texas Education Forum. However, the most notable thing out of that meeting was Jobs comments about the way vendors sell to schools.
Kind of surprising that the CEO of a company that sells so many computers to schools would be so blunt, but I agree with Jobs completely regarding teacher unions: Comparing schools to small companies and principals to CEOs, [Jobs] asked rhetorically what kind of CEO can't hire the people he wants, get rid of workers who aren't performing or pay better workers more. American schools “have become unionized in the worst possible way,” Jobs said. Until that is remedied, he said, schools won't be able to attract the best teachers and administrators.”
