Pat I read your first source and stand by my characterization of Zakarias. I'll take a look at the other and cook up some party line toeing for ya Rex.

Sorry if I offended you. It just seems so blatantly obvious to me that public sector and private sector unions have damn near nothing in common, other than a name and their support for the Democratic Party. In the case of private sector unions, that's reasonable and expected. As for public sector unions, it's actually kind of incestuous. I've had 38 years of direct experience with both public and private sector unions and it couldn't be more clear to me.
