A cabal of overpaid and underworked government employees should not be allowed to hold the taxpayers hostage and demand that we give them more money. End public-sector unions forever!

Unions exist to protect workers from exploitation. Begin your understanding there. Characterization of unions as the exploitative class has been a careful manipulation by those who benefit most from not having unions - the wealthy elite.

Note that this article specifically refers to public-sector unions, not private-sector ones. These are government employees, not corporate employees.

Thanks for pointing that out, I suppose I was making a general comment on the purpose of unions. Although I'd argue public workers can also be exploited.

Such a decision, should it be decided in favor of employees that desire the benefits w/o the obligations of membership, will invariably become the predicate and precedent for similar attacks upon private sector bargaining units.

It’s been interesting in OH the past few years, as IN, MI, & WV, enacted right-to-work legislation. There was actually a pro-union speaker from Detroit who was pushing for RtW in OH w/ the premise that if a union went corrupt, employes should be able to disband & join a new one.

I personally have no problem w/ private-sector unions, as long as all parties (including customers) are considered. I don’t like public-sector ones, though, after seeing Dayton area fire departments push through a tax levy, rather than allowing non-union volunteers to join. 1/

When a union negociates with a company, both know that at some wage level, the company is uncompetitive and will fail. With government employees, there is no wage level when government is “uncompetitive” and will fail. Thus unions shouldn’t be allowed for government employees.
