The battle will have to be fought. Currently public employee unions are like a Ponzi scheme. Those in early are really doing well. However, the one flaw in any Ponzi scheme is the need for “new” money to pay out.
The new money has to come from taxpayers and fees or from the union members themselves.
The truth is, there is not enough money in the world for a Ponzi scheme to work, it will always fall apart. The only question is when.
The sad part for all is even if the unions win this battle with the NJ Governor they will lose the war in the end.
Unions are just one parasite feeding on governments there are others. Like all parasites they first weaken and then eventually kill the host.
I do not wish to predict what is going to happen when this house of cards finally come down, but I suspect public employee unions may become illegal even if it takes a constitutional amendment.
It the unions were wise they would accept some changes if for no other reason then to save what they have. But I don’t see that happening.
No way. The unions are not near intelligent enough to see what a smart move that would be.
I understand public unions were made permissible by a JFK Executive Order. All we need is a President with a spine...
