That's a pretty obnoxious thing to say, especially as we've established you're in no position to criticise the teaching profession.
I never said legally forced. But those of you who know, it's very difficult to not be part of a union
But the private sector is comprised of individual components with set goals who are largely removed from constant political interference and therefore to say that practices that work in the private sector will directly translate into the public sector is a stretch to say the least. If anything what has traditionally happened is that the constant reforms and restructuring is the very mechanism that adds the layers of management rather than reducing it.
Which is precisely why privatisation/mutualisation and an any capable provider approach is such a good thing.
put the power back into the hands of users rather than politicians, of course, such an approach is not popular, as for it to be effective, there has to be failure of providers when they fail to attract appropriate levels of business.
If done for the right reasons when applicable and above board ...
... rather than the current iteration which will put the money into the pockets of the very people who were consulted on it (by the false democracy in their shades of red and blue) and those who implement it.
Further to my response to Castiel I would also point out the private sector succeeds by competing whereas the public sector often succeeds by cooperating.

Who is we've? You mean YOU? In that case it doesn't matter. I work with them and the 'majority' don't deserve the pay they are on. Note I never said 'all'.
was funny in college one of the teachers (who never actually turns up for his lessons or does a full days work the useless slacker) sat there last time bitching to us about his final salary pension being changed to 1/80th of his final pay per year of service and moaning how it's unfair while we're all sat there thinking that's 20% better than our pensions mate :/
unite is pretty bad for it, when they come around it's basically "join the union or the evil bosses will sack you instantly" scaremongering vote rigging *****s.
Ah, so he's proposing a doubling of class sizes?
That'll work
Or hes suggesting only the top 50% go to school and we let the bottom 50% stop going and sit at home like they will probably do once they are old enough to claim benefits and dole money
or he's suggesting that the public sector is somewhat larger than just the school system...
Still it's good that the education system has taught you two such superb reasoning skills.

No its not. Just say no thankyou.

True, but unfortunately they can be quite useful too. In a time when kids can make any kind of allegation against teachers and it has to be taken seriously, having a strong union can be very important.
I agree, a Union is a very useful and in some occupations is recommended....I have been a member of a couple of Unions.
