Government unions are the biggest conflict of interest in the history of the world. They’re living large while I have to keep paying taxes for they’re retirement. I hate them.

Public workers do not have the pressure on them that private sector workers do (it is almost impossible to fire public workers), so no, they shouldn't be paid the same as private sector workers. And, they also get better benefits than private sector workers, which is part of the pay package.

More money for our “easy duty” overlords. Yuk!

This means higher taxes to pay the fat pensions for gov’t workers while the taxpayers cannot save enough for their own retirement.

SEIU is despicable. I worked at two places where my employees were members. As I expected, the union defended lazy workers and was always watching. Only went through one strike but it showed me that my employees, people I usually got along with, turned immediately into angry enemies - us versus them - when SEIU said to do so.

At one place, I left and the employees brought a farewell cake - decorated in SEIU colors. I didn’t say a thing, didn’t want to give them the satisfaction.
