Congrats, you get a reddie for this immature post. Like we want someone like you teaching our children.

BTW, I could post many links refuting yours but why bother, this is an audio forum.

Reminder: this is the OT forum so feel free to present your refuting arguments, (if you've got any).

Actually I've got a couple myself.

• Public service unions differ from unions serving private employers since while the latter strike against the company, the former strike against the community, and therefore they ought to expect restrictions on their bargaining rights.
• In a time of global competition when private businees employees are facing shrinking wages & benefits, Government & public service and utility unions are tending to sustain theirs. A widening gap between been the former and the latter works against the efficient delivery of public services, is socially inequitable, and will be politically unsustainable in the medium term.

Great post. I completely agree.
