Charter schools to unionize?

Many of the nation's charter schools are unionizing. While teachers in district-operated public schools are union members, charter schools receive government money but are managed by outside organizations that choose whether or not to unionize. How are charter school unions different from those at traditional public schools? What do California's charter school teachers stand to gain (or lose) by unionizing? Larry Mantle and guests explore the impact teachers' unions have on public education.
