The vast majority of public unions are definitely not making the concessions the private unions are making. No way, Jose.
Fine, I agree that the union's representation is important, but the playing field is like night and day in regard to private and public unions.
This is why the Teamster's are rapidly organizing as many public employee groups as they can in order to survive, because the jobs are way more stable because there is no "profit god" to serve.
You may be able to convince the general public, but I was involved with the Union for over 40 years, and you have nothing to teach me.
