Government created inflation, and government workers are not hurt by it. Ordinary citizens are.

[Reily]

Government workers (only 27.3% union) are certainly hurt by it. They have to buy food, pay utilities, mortgages and such. Unfortunately that 27.3% make enough noise to congresscritters seem like 72.7%. They think that forced increases from the taxpayer will at least match inflation it might for a year maybe, inflation always runs ahead. They never get that as do most union members. This particular flavor of union leadership encourages that kind of thinking. (As do all union leadership!). The only true beneficiaries are the upper echelon of the unions because it keeps them in power and perks.
