Good find, comparing the struggles of lower income workers and the road to freedom provided by state jobs. Where the left wing nut job who wrote this article falls off the chart in in the relationship with workers, their union vs bankrupt states. Government workers should have never has the right to enter into relationships with labor unions. Labor moved into these relationships because they found a stable working force that could be robbed of union dues. Jobs that would never be eliminated(they thought) or moved overseas.
Its time to end this relationship...now!
“Left-wing nut job”
Do you mean Tavernise, the quoted Times writer, or the rather even-handed WSJ writer, Clay Waters?
Tavernise was absolutely extreme left. But I don’t see how Waters could be accused of that. He was trying to expose the Times’ bias.
