Why is it so hard to fire bad teachers and bad cops? Ravi sits down with Robert Orr and Nick B to discuss the problems with public sector unions—how they use political influence, protect ineffective workers, and make it difficult to reward excellence. They explore how a small number of poor performers can have an outsized impact on schools, policing, and public trust, and examine what states that have successfully reformed these systems are doing differently.
