so you feel bad about unions having more access? A union is an interest group, like AARP or NRA, it serves to better its members. A company is out for its own interest, out to make money. Unions Should have more access than than a company for just this reason, they are an association of citizens, not a business.

also, I can even turn that around...because a corporate donor is the same thing as an employee when the government is paying their contract. why do you think companies give money to senators in the first place? so the government trows them nice juicy contracts probably when they shouldn't.

Unions do not belong in the public sector. End of story.

maybe in your mind. I bet you ignored all the cost plus contracts in Iraq, and all the buildings we built...but didn't actually build, or the Commanchie, the JSF, etc etc...

this is just one of those reactionary things whenever republicans get into office...they spin some yard that unions are ruining this country and go on a crusade to get rid of them. Why are they doing this? well duh, their buddies in the private sector want a piece of the Pie. But luckily for them politicians love to overpay private sector than they do public.
