I understand the complications; I can’t believe that anyone posting on a site called “Free Republic” would disagree with their right to organize.
I’m an outright enemy of public employee unions, as I have to involuntarily contribute to them. As far as other workers go, who am I to oppose them? By what right?
Collective bargaining against taxpayer funded operations should be outlawed. It’s extortion.
I’m indifferent to collectivism in the private sector providing the collective doesn’t intimidate, harass, or otherwise interfere with the free market.
Unfortunately, the intersection of Liberty and Collectivism is practically non-existent.
