Government Unions negotiate with the government for money that the government confiscates from the citizenry in the form of taxes and fees.
Government Unions donate a portion of that money, from workers dues and political PAC's, to political campaigns. Government Unions advocate for those politicians who are down with the struggle.
The government negotiates with the Government Unions again. The circle is complete.
