Terry M. Moe: Talking About Teachers Unions

I appeared on the Ronn Owens Radio Show this week. Owens has a daily, high-rated, talk show show based in San Francisco.
The focus of the program was my new book, Special Interest: Teachers Unions and America's Public Schools. Our conversation was wide-ranging, touching on subjects such as union impact on how schools are organized and the power unions have over getting bad teachers out of the classroom.
We also talked about seniority rules, the role public employee unions have on the political process, and the impact information technology will have on education and teachers unions.
I also took phone calls and answered emails from listeners.
