BTW, I don't fault the unions at all for their stance on this, but our "system" is such a hodge-podge of inefficiency that radical surgery may be the only truly effective option. There are, however, too many entrenched interests for radical surgery to even be contemplated. So, we'll just tinker around the edges.
Agreed. And their tinkering looks a lot like a (very expensive) joke at this point (they HAVE to pass something!)
