Unions perversely hurt themselves. By creating a monopoly for their services, they make it much harder for alternative providers to come along and bid up their services.
The new NYC mayor put the partner of the AFT (American Federation of Teachers) on his transition team. Part of his campaign platform was, "Less measuring, no more charter schools, no more closing failing schools." I fear for the future of NYC schools.
But to the original point, I think the only hope is getting post-career engineers who have already made their money to become CS teachers.
