"But one thing it does tell you if true:It is almost as impossible to fire a government employee as it is a union employee"

I am betting that it is almost impossible for an outsider to get these kinds of jobs too. The union very likely runs this as an exclusive club. In Miami, you practically have to be born into a river tug family to even think of working on one.

Unfortunately this is the way politics operate across all of America. You have to have a contact and political connections. Jobs are sold for votes in my opinion.
I have personally watched while a government job was created,salary set and a person appointed without a resume or application for the job. It was all handled in 30 minutes.This was against the written policy of the body and against state law I believe and I could never get any help addressing it and I was an elected member of the said body.
Since then I have been told by reliable sources that this same body went along with getting rid of a position for a while and then recreating it so they could give it to the so called "Chairmans" relative.
Goes on all the time and the government prosecutes those in the public who violate the law but there is no recourse against government. Government is run like the "Mafia".
