WSJ Op-Ed on Unions vs. Charters

Interesting op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on the battle between charter schools and unions mentions the Kane study on Boston pilot vs. charter schools.

The duality of union strategy is interesting. On one hand, they're trying to get charter schools to unionize while trying to undermine their funding on the other. Will teachers really try to join a union that is trying to shut down their schools? Will the unions continue to try to undermine charters if their members teacher in charter schools? It seems like a game of chicken to me.
