All unions are enemies of economic freedom. You are correct that government unions are even more onerous because taxpayers have no representative to offset the excess demands of labor cartels. The excesses of public sector unions do not diminish the evils of private sector unions.

Labor cartels exist solely to control the supply and price of labor. They obtain this power through government with favorable laws that compel employers to deal with labor cartels and compel individuals to join labor cartels.

Labor cartels alone are not the reason for outsourcing but they are a major cause. Their onerous demands on compensation and work rules make firms non competitive. Government policies involving taxes and regulations also encourage outsourcing although labor cartels support most of these policies. Labor cartels are vigorously supporting legislation that will enhance their power at the expense of consumers and taxpayers. The only alternative is to outsource production and employment.

Unions are the product of “free trade”. It is a response by workers who see their economic freedom threatened by free traitors.

This was studied and commented extensively in the UK, in the early 1800s.

The free traitors know that their control over the government with respect to eliminating sovereign trade laws results in unions. They also know that unions prepare citizens for communism. They are fully on board with this process.

The free traitors also know that their push for global “free trade” will result in global communism, which is their goal, ultimately, because communist governments can control the workers to the point of slavery, with wages in keeping with that status.

That is why free traitors love communist china, and why they do business with communist dictators. There is nothing free about “free trade” and apparently aviation workers are the next target for destruction by the “free traitors”

Utter nonsense. If you were a coal miner in 1920 you would be in the union. You know what the history was. So don’t say all. And since members of gov’t unions are by definition tax-eaters....I see them much differently than union members who are taxpayers same as you are. Are some private sector unions loony and abusive? Yes but they know that if they demand too much they are out of a job because their employer moves his operations or goes out of business.

Governments don’t move and rarely go out of business. Same for those who work for them.
