All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters. Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of government employees. Upon employees in the Federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in the conduct of government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable.
That was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Not Ronald Reagan or George Bush.
He was a Democrat.
But dimocrap scum saw a way to enshrine themselves in power forever and ever by using inflated Union wages, paid for with Taxpayor money.
And to guarantee themselves a virtually endless supply of campaign cash.... Paid for with Taxpayor money.
You people should look up the history of Public Sector Unions. It's really a relatively new phenomena, invented by scumbag dimocrap corruptocrats to control the reins of political power in Cities to the exclusion of all others.
Last Republican Mayor of Dee-Troit? 51 years ago. Louis Miriani, served from 1957-1962.
Almost perfect timing of when Dee-Troit started to turn the corner from one of the wealthiest Cities, with one of the most affluent populations on Earth into a dimocrap pus hole.
Didja know (of course not) that before the dimocrap-fostered riots of 1967, BLACK People in Detroit had the highest Home Ownership rate of any Black Urban population in the Country?
And that the Black Unemployment rate was 3.9%......?
Of course you didn't.
Do I feel sorry for them? Not a goddamned bit.
They made their choice. Now, even if they own a home it ain't worth anything. And the Black Unemployment rate in Dee-Troit? Off the scale. Nobody really even knows. Some say it's as high as 50%. Others say 60%. The official statistics don't even begin to state the problem accurately but using even those, it's still three times what it was.
As to the Employees, Pensioners and Retirees of Dee-Troit?
**** 'em.
These people aren't victims, they're willing accomplices. They drove the get-away car as the Unions and dimocrap scum politicians were holding up the taxpayers.
And they were more than willing to accept their cut of the take.
No pity. No mercy. No feelings. They made their beds, let them sleep in them
