Why? Removing a Constitutional function is prohibitively difficult. If you want to get rid of waste and inefficiency (and who doesn’t?), I think getting rid of the public sector unions is less work with more upside. And that would play across the entire government employment spectrum.
Exactly!! Very well put! Ending FedGov unions would improve operations across the entire government. The legislation* to do that though hard is not as hard as trying to get a Constitutional Amendment passed and ratified.
* Legislation is needed because LBJ codified JFK’s EO on allowing FedGov unions into law.
Government cannot help itself.
Just tinkering around the edges and getting rid of a union here or a union there is merely re-arranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
Government needs to be made actually smaller structurally. A few simple firings isn’t actually reducing the size and scope of government one bit. We need to reduce the actual size and reduce the actual scope.
So when you fire some unions, the next guy will just hire them back again or hire new ones. The cycle never ends rinse and repeat.
