It's not illegal for them to strike (not sure if this is state or federal governed, I don't know much about education law), but I think they can only strike for so long before they have to return to work. But it's still at least a couple weeks. And all the time has to be made up. Which means some schools end up going to the end of June or even into July, and having almost no breaks

That's interesting. It must be a state or perhaps a county thing. In my home county (where my parents were teachers), it was illegal for teachers to strike at all, unless that's changed in the last couple of years.
Personally, I don't see the point in belonging to a union if you can't even strike.
