In fact, government employees should never, ever be allowed to organize.
The need for a union comes down to this question: Do you have a boss who wants you to work harder for less money? In the private sector, the answer is yes. In the public sector, the answer is a big, fat NO.

Eleven of the 25 counties with the highest incomes are near Washington (DC). For decades now, the Democrats have had a good gig buying the votes of government workers with outrageous salaries, benefits and work rules -- and then sticking productive earners with the bill. But, now, we're out of money

Dude, I hate to pronounce a FAIL upon you..
Excellent summary Anne.
The makers of the documentary “Waiting for Superman” should recut the movie to add these teacher union protest videos to the end of it.

Another point that needs to be stressed is that the primary function of modern unions is to deny workers the right to negotiate individually. What leftists call the “right to collective bargaining” is really a privilege given to some people (union bosses) to negotiate terms on behalf of others, without regard for those people’s consent.
My husband was a 20+ year firefighter in one of the wealthiest counties in Florida. They, of course, had a firefighter’s union. But rather than use the dues (forced even in a so-called Right to Work state) to actually be there for the guys during contract hearings, this union did little more than what is “affectionately” called Collective Begging. They also were no help at the bargaining table because even if a new contract was agreed upon, they had what was “affectionately” called Non-Binding Arbitration. So in other words, the firefighter’s could never strike, they had no power to better work contracts and even when contracts were signed by the city, they could legally change their minds and the union could do nothing about it. Talk about a waste of money!

How did this possibly happen where you have gov’t workers, working for us, become unionized?
If I’m a mail carrier, my allegiance is to my union, not my job. I pay union dues....that go to union boss who keep the gov’t from firing me.
We have the most lop sided country on earth.
I’m waiting for GM or Chrysler to go on strike, in essence union workers striking against themselves.
