Public employee unions should be banned.

Why wait. You can move to communist China if that is political atmosphere you would like to live under.

Government worker unions were common in the USSR. The difference is that in the Soviet Union the government controlled the unions; whereas here, the unions control the government at the expense of working stiffs.

You must be so proud.

It is amazing that you would think that opposing public sector unions is some how "communist".

Actually unions are quite popular in communist countries. They allow the government more control over the people by making sure their health care, pensions, work rules, uniforms, days off and everything else is under the control of the ruling party.

Forcing people into associations that they would rather not be a part of, imposing draconian rule on them and making them pay you for the privilege is not American.

JFK understood that expanding union power meant expanding the Democrat base which translated into more thugs and money under his control.
