Teachers unionize at charter school, a first for Mass.

The Boston Globe reports:
In between violin and voice lessons, teachers at the Conservatory Lab Charter School in Brighton have organized into a union, the first-ever at a Massachusetts charter school.

The decision by the 20 teachers at this small elementary school is considered significant in the state's 15-year-old charter movement, which was based, in part, on allowing administrators to pursue innovative teaching methods without union intervention.
The mission of public education is to enrich the teachers.Got that?
