It is high time that we end all public employee unions....
Oh, absolutely! I've worked with various public employee unions and although anecdotal, my experience has been that the unions know that unlike private industry, there is no chance that the city, county or municipality will close its doors via bankruptcy, because the public entity can simply raise taxes to acquire the necessary revenue to meet union demands. The taxpayers, unlike consumers who can choose to purchase from competitors when union demands create soaring product prices, are held captive, their wallets raped, and they literally have no say whatsoever about it.
Public employee unions should be illegal nation wide.
