no public service job should be union.
Police , firemen, teachers are all needed to do a job paid by the tax payer.
To take days off while tax payers pay their wages is pure madness
“no public service job should be union.”
A few years ago, I would have agreed with that statement, but one of our sons was a police officer for 5 years, and he said the union was the only thing that defended officers in any kind of dispute, because cowardly politicians are all too willing to throw cops to the wolves. Cops can’t even depend on their superiors on the force to stand up for them, because some chiefs are primarily concerned with sucking up to the mayor.
There would have to be a way to protect cops from false charges other than having to hire their own attorney.
