Swing ... and a miss !!
Private sector unions must still compete in the marketplace. If they are too onerous, too much a parasite, they kill the host. And they perish with it. See Eastern Airlines for just one example.
Public sector unions have no such self-correcting mechanism. They can suck the host forever.
They are all volunteers too. If they don't like it, they can get another job. Taxpayers, on the other hand, are not volunteers.
Do you want your police competing in the market place? Because they serve the public welfare, they are less deserving of a voice? And voters have no ability to correct or vote for people who would be wiser in negotiations? I don;t buy that.
