Public unions (indeed private ones) oppose merit pay increases and fight them at every turn. If you are against setting salary by referendum, then you are against unions bargaining for across-the-board pay increases.
Yes I am, but I'm for unions having a seat at the table and recognize that unions seek uniformity and often win it, though I personally think that's counterproductive. In basic principles, I respect union members' right to advocate for themselves, but on individual policies, I'd often side against the union position.
