I think it's a pretty clear indication that the unions are only in it for themselves and will merrily screw the taxpayer if they can get away with it. I don't care if it's a private company we're talking about but when it comes to the public sector we need to understand just who these people are organizing against. |
I did read it, and yes, that's a crappy thing to do. But is the solution to remove all collective bargaining rights from state employees, or maybe is it to renegotiate the contract?
