The Headline should read: Cuomo Moves to Prop Up Parasite Class
FDR, among many others opposed government unions. Public sector unions is why I often say that no private sector union member should ever vote for labor union candidates, most especially candidates supported by teachers’ unions.
Public sector unions are an abomination. None more than teachers’ unions, yet few Americans think about teachers’ unions as GOVERNMENT UNIONS designed to indoctrinate children.
NOTE: The education industry is absorbing the wealth of the nation without contributing anything of value.
FDR was right about public sector unions, but his objections never addressed the inherent evil in the government’s use of income taxes. So I will never understand why the SCOTUS does not put coerced charity on the docket. Surely, declaring coerced charity is a constitutional issue whose time is due.
The first president of the AFL-CIO also opposed public sector unions:
As did Calvin Coolidge:
Influential public voices were right about public sector unions, but not one of them addressed the inherent evil in the government’s use of income taxes.
It is a pity that no president, nor George Meany, ever addressed public sector unions as an attack on freedom of speech:
Finally, JFK created government unions by executive order:

“It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government.”
That wasn’t Newt Gingrich, or Ron Paul, or Ronald Reagan talking. That was George Meany -- the former president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O -- in 1955. Government unions are unremarkable today, but the labor movement once thought the idea absurd.
Public sector unions insist on laws that serve their interests -- at the expense of the common good.
The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money. When government unions strike, they strike against taxpayers. F.D.R. considered this “unthinkable and intolerable.”
Government collective bargaining means voters do not have the final say on public policy. Instead their elected representatives must negotiate spending and policy decisions with unions. That is not exactly democratic – a fact that unions once recognized.

Influential public voices were right about public sector unions, but not one of them addressed the inherent evil in the government’s use of income taxes.
First, since 1977, membership in public-sector unions has exploded to about 7.2 million today. This has resulted in the coffers of the unions overflowing with money, much of which is devoted to political purposes. Union financial contributions skew local and state elections, favoring union allies.
As a result, many state and local governments in non-right to work states have become larger, more costly, and significantly harder to manage. Think how hard it is to fire an incompetent teacher or cop.

The Janus case could mean the restoration of government workers’ constitutional right to free speech.
