Fine, so let's say this it what it's all about. Union bosses and Democrat politicians buttfucking each other. The fact remains that union reps are doing what they're supposed to be doing...getting the best deal they can. If the Democrat politicians are bending over backwards for their votes and agreeing to bad deals for the state economy...that's the goddamn politician's problem. All they have to do is say no.

Even FDR? Even lots of famous people don't like public unions. That's no reason to leave the public worker without the right to collective bargaining. That's no reason to leave the public worker and his/her family's well being in the hands of those who's only goal is maintaining their office ...Democrat or Republican. They're no less greedy and power hungry than T. Boone Pickens or Willard Romney.
Nope. Public employees should have the same rights as anybody else to collective bargaining. If public unions unnaturally influence the political process it's on the vote whoring politicians, not on the workers.
