Have been reading a lot on this subject lately and have come to the conclusion that there should be no unions for government workers. Lots of reasons why I have come to this conclusion but the main points are as follows:

1. There is no greedy corporate management that is unfairly keeping profits away from poor, defenseless employees.
2. Government employees are protected from abuse by civil service regulations
3. Public employee unions simply negotiate with friendly politicians to take more and more from the public which explains why they have better pay and benefits than those who pay for them
4. Public employee unions simply take the dues paid to them and then support government friendly politicians (i.e., Democrats) through campaign spending (over 98% goes to Dems).

It is a money laundering operation for big government politicians to get campaign contributions.

Even George Meany said there can be no collective bargaining with the government. However, Kennedy by executive order allowed federal employees to unionize. So much for the democratic process.
