Stop with the straw man shit.
Do you think it is right for public employees to be permitted to save up unlimited amounts of sick and vacation time and be paid for it when they retire? No one in the private sector gets that.
Back in the day, there were union contracts with such provisions. Probably not now, though.
Do you think it correct that just because a person works a government job their ENTIRE family get free or very low cost health insurance?
Do you think it just for the above to be ENTIRELY funded by the taxpayers with little or no contribution from the employee?
If you're referring to Wisconsin, unions offered to negotiate contract changes. Walker eliminated collective bargaining.
Do you think it correct for public sector workers to be paid far above market rate levels?
Some on your side claim that the taxpayers want public workers to be paid less, that they are "less then normal people".
No ...That is NOT the case at all.
What are market rates? Minimum wage? If a union negotiates with a company to pay higher wages, is that the union's fault? No. It's a bargain struck between the workers and management.
What we want is to stop the unions from getting EVERYTHING they want. To stop the conflict of interest. We want the public workers to actually pay their dues out of pocket rather than have them auto deducted from their pay. We also want them to have a choice as to whether or not they wish to join the union. We want stop them from giving away the store just because the politicians can simply increase taxes and then run away from any responsibility.
Negotiations determine contracts. As for dues deductions, if they're deducted out of their pay, it's still paid. Conflict of interest? There is none.
Choice to join? Everyone does. It's the law.
We just want a level playing field. Pubic workers wages and benefits should mirror those in the private sector. No better. No worse.
There is a level playing field. The unions are the employees' reps. Let the changes be negotiatiated instead of pulling a Scott Walker.
