Government Unions

Unions control government.

Federal, state and local government unionization outlays for wages and pensions are about triple what they are for comparable private industry jobs.

With their political contributions and the ability to close down government operations, along with their control of budgets because of their size.

The problem will persist until politicians are no longer beholden to unions for funds and getting out the vote. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
