Are PUBLIC SECTOR unions really needed?
No doubt private unions are needed. No one here remembers how fucked up things were. Dangerous mines. Serf-like conditions. Fucked up meat packing plants. Private unions push worker safety and helped alleviate the conditions of the working masses. Amen.
But what about PUBLIC (aka government sector) unions? Anyone hear of the great DMV Flood or Title Registration Cave-In or slave-like toil at the DMV (except if you're unlucky enough to be in line) or overseer beatdowns of teachers in classrooms? Me neither.
What have been the effect of public unions on pensions, state deficits, and flexibility in state hiring?
