Unions should have gone the way of the Pinto... The idea of government employee unions is simply absurd!
I can understand why private corporation unions have existed, but can NOT understand why government unions were ever allowed to happen. My guess, (actually, understanding), is that those government workers wanted more and those that they elected thought that it was a good idea to keep them happy.
All public unions need to be abolished!

All public unions need to be abolished! Absolutely! Public employees work for the taxpayers, if they don't accept the pay and benefits offered they can get a different job, there's many waiting in line that'll take it.

The SEIU union that troubles me is the one that organizes all the health care workers, including doctors and nurses. SEIU 1199. There are branches all over and we saw some of the doctors writing excuse notes for the protest in Wisconsin.

It takes world-class chutzpah to call circumventing secret ballots the "Employee Free Choice Act."It takes doublethink. Most of us saw Orwell's 1984 as a cautionary tale; the kind of folks who head up unions and the Democrat Party saw it as a how-to manual.

When one shines the light of truth on unions, just as one shines light on cockroaches.
Neither can stand the light therefore both hide. One behind meaningless words the other in dark corners.

You are right on target! Unions are not for the workers, the UNIONS are for UNIONS!

Agreed! No public employee should have union! They started illegally and they continue illegally!

Democrats always support unions, and unions always support Democrats. It’s a match made in hell.

Thanks for the ping jaz. Unions, and Democrats need each other for survival.
They are a minority in the World of Politics, but they are the loudest, most obnoxious, most consuming.
They will be heard.
