Why should city, state and federal government workers be unionized? They have the right to join whatever fraternities or organizations they like under the constitution, but why must they be able to join a union to fight their government?
I can see unions in private industry, to seek better working conditions, and redress grievances, better salaries and other benefits.
Government employees can vote politicians out. Political parties on the left supposedly are there for many of those workers. We hear their petitions every day. Union redress against government should only be political.
The chief weapon of unionism today is the way they wield their power in government, in addition to the power of the voting booth. Private industry unionism is weak because most workers have not chosen them. Union power today is in the form of government programs.
