Here's honesty.

Public sector unions are nothing more than political patronage militias. They get high salaries and lavish fringe benefits from Democrats, and in return the Dems get campaign donations. The costs of the benefits are frequently hidden and are only dealt with years later. This is a corrupt, incestuous relationship. It does not benefit the public, only the unions and Democrats.
