I don't believe I was disagreeing with anything you said above. But suppose that a school district has limited funds, perhaps because some of Spanky's conservative friends passed a statewide initiative preventing raises in property taxes to pay for education. Faced with difficulty negotiations with the teachers' union, and constrained by their budget, might they not agree to give the union job protections in lieu of a pay increase?

The job protection is enshrined in law. That was what Arnold was trying to change with his proposition. The taxpayers did not get some quid pro quo for this job protection, the Teachers Unions paid for some legislators and they got the law passed.
Now districts can't fire teachers unless they rape or kill a student.
These protections were not in lieu of a pay increase.
