Yep, that is a massive problem that has looted our city coffers and gave us $210,000.00 a year city lifeguards and firemen buying rental properties on the coast, and everyone hurting their backs and retiring, and teachers unions controlling textbook purchases and nationalizing our schools, and city/county workers voting as blocks to select who the city government is that they bargain pay and pensions with.
When government unionizes, who are they unionizing against, us.
“As many unions have noted, a constitutional convention would put everything on the table for discussion, including the constitutional mandates against the cutting of pensions, a guarantee to a public education, protection of the workers’ compensation system, the right for public-sector unions to bargain collectively and a requirement that the state provide social welfare services. Special interest groups that are dedicated to reducing the power of labor unions as well as those seeking the privatization of public services would almost surely be working toward gutting constitutional protections for unions at a constitutional convention.”
