Some of those people work very hard for their money, unions help protect their rights. You can't do away with unions, thats ridiculous.
Believe me, the higher up the food chain you go the less they work for their money.
Yes I agree the higher up the union food chain the less they work. What is wrong with public sector employees paying at least 50% of their pensions and insurance? That is better than private sector workers still.
Unions today are not there for the workers, they are there for themselves do not be fooled. There are laws protecting workers today that do the same thing. Public funded workers going on strike is tantamount to extortion and they should be fired. Their paycheck is funded by our taxes. Think about it.
