If we take away bargaining rights we might just as well have the Chinese come in and govern us. what’s next,.they take away the right to assemble.

If you are upset At the deal the public employee unions got, blame the elected reps that gave it to them.the union reps did their job as they were supposed to do.

Nobody is taking away their bargaining rights. That’s the title the union chose to fool the simple minded.

When it comes to political favors, it takes two to tango. There is, for example, no bribery without a briber and a bribee.

Consequently, blame for the abuse of the public trust represented by politicians colluding with public employee unions is equally distributed. Union reps aren't just "doing their job" when they engage in schemes to screw the taxpayers.

The problem with this idea is that the term of the contracts (particularly as regards retirements) exceed the term of the elected representatives. Hence, to take this position is to make changing representatives absolutely futile insofar as undoing a bad or even crooked deal is concerned.
