I am a union man, born and bred and I'll die a union man.

Funny I should say that, at first blush, as I am a self employed sole proprietor with 0 employees.
We've been discussing unions pros & cons and I wanted to narrow the focus a little so I felt that a thread devoted to that subject might be something worthwhile.
So, my question for y'all is why do some think public sector unions are a bad thing? I'm curious as all get out about this subject because to this nail pounding construction puke everyone should have the right to organize and dicker with their employer whether it's private or public sector. That's from the city, state or federal level standpoint IMO. So coming from the less than sharpest tool in the shed, why are public sector employees any different from UAW, Teamsters etc employees? What underpins the philosophy that there is a difference? Edumacate me and let's try to save the brickbats for other threads.
