Did you read the OP article?

The union, supposedly filled with caring civic minded people (if you can believe the propaganda) is willing to sue a cash strapped town because they used, omg! , private contractors to pick up the slack during an emergency. If they win the town has to pay twice. Lovely.

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.
