In California the only time there is real negotiation with the teacher's union is when a Republican Governor threatens to veto an education bill.
If you pass the laws then the teachers will have to abide. If they go on strike you fire the teachers that don't show up. Government, unlike businesses, really don't need to negotiate with unions. They have the power of making laws.
If you take on the teacher's union you are accused of being against education. The Governator tried to get a law past the legislator changing tenure in California from two years to four years and the teacher unions stopped it. He then put it in a proposition and the teachers unions spent millions of dollars spreading mininformation (why is Arnold attacking our teachers?) to defeat it and they did.
Almost everything I just proposed that most people agreed on, has been floated out in California and been summarily quashed by the Teacher's Unions. You want to fix education, all you need to do is make it illegal for teachers to unionize.

Uh, we don't have teacher's unions in Texas of any particular clout, and there's still a problem.
ETA: stuff happens over their objection all the time.
