I do.
In California, many, if not most, of our legislators receive healthy "contributions" from the unions. Teachers unions, nurses unions, iron worker unions, maybe even street walker unions, if they exist. These contributions are not without strings.
I have no doubt that, as part of this "quid pro quo", the unions heavily influenced the laws which led to these waivers being implemented. Heck, I'd even believe that union reps were in the office when these POS laws were written!

Would you believe that the union lobbyists wrote the laws?
