Surely there is some room for improvement.

Ehhh, I think it's an unfair generalizations for unions. There are bad people at every job. We've all known them. Also lazy people at every job. I don't think there is really more lazy people in union jobs than non union jobs, and if there is, I'd love to see the stats.
I'll agree there are some bad teachers, and they give the good ones a bad name. I'd also go with the idea that it is probably harder to get rid of a bad employee in a union job than an non union one.
However, that doesn't mean there is a higher percentage of them. There are lots of reasons a person who is lazy in their job is able to keep it or be overlooked in non-union jobs. Also, in those jobs, there is always the possibility they lose their job in one company in the sector, and just get one somewhere else in the sector, a possibility that doesn't exist nearly as much in a union job. IE, once you burn that bridge not a lot of other bridges.
