Charter school businesses contract with public school districts to in part void
labor union contracts with teachers and other staff. This ends the need for
administrators to handle contract talks with charter school employees. And they
are free to enjoy the liberty of at-will employment.

similar complaints are made about public schools. (Private schools
brag about their lack of bureaucracy.) Some of them are valid, some
not. What good is bureaucracy? For example, the fact that the public
schools have to (try to) offer equal services to special-needs
(disabled) students imposes all sorts of rules and administrative jobs
on the public schools. These obligations require bureaucracy. (Private
schools usually don't have to live up to these obligations.)
