Public sector employees lack the opportunities presented in the private sector.

So what. Gubbermint jobs are better that private sector and Federal jobs are pure cream. Secretaries get paid outrageous amounts and minorities get great Fed jobs in the DC area due to affirmative action. The benefits are better than what GM workers get

Again -- if you don't want to compete in the private sector then why even bother? The private sector is a competition pure and simple. The winner gets the money, chicks and corner office -- the loser gets squat. He's home in a studio apartment eating hot pockets on a Saturday night. This is the way it's always been and always will be.

GM production factory workers get 12 week vacations. USPS letter carriers in the DC area get 13, 20 or 26 days per year, depending on how long they've worked in the government.

They also are subjected to anthrax attacks ~ something that hardly ever happens at GM.
