Welcome to the real world

Arguing that unionized public-school teachers are "professionals," labor union official Patti Ferguson of Tulsa writes in a recent letter to the editor that "teachers unions aren't about gaining power; they're about empowering teachers to give their all without having to worry about whether they'll have a job the next day."

But why should anyone -- professional or not -- be guaranteed a job? I strongly suspect that, especially in this economy, there are plenty of lawyers and accountants and other professionals who "worry about whether they'll have a job the next day."
