Agreed. Government employees should be forced to make a choice: voting or unions.

Not both. You want a union? You can't vote. Want to vote, you can't be a union member.

Violation of their rights? Nope. It's a choice they make.

But seriously, if I was suddenly chief executive, I'd fire every single government employee. Then I'd have a job fair. If they can show they should be in their job then they'll have to re-apply. Those getting their jobs back because they are actually good workers will get back their status and benefits.

I'd bet good money 20-25% of the employees would never even try because I think they are ghost employees and don't exist. I'd force every department head to account for every single dime spent or be prosecuted for fraud. And I mean EVERY SINGLE DIME!

They don't like it? Tough. Go find a job in the private sector. As Dan Ackroyd'd character in "Ghostbusters" says, "I've worked in the private sector before, they expect results".

Re-invent government? Hell no, I'll nuke it and start over with a command structure similar to the military. Full chain of command and consequences for the actions of the employees. Screw the unions.

But I'm insane. In my world they'll all be wearing Star Trek uniforms of red, blue and gold based on their jobs and I'd sit in a chair on the bridge! he he
