Public Sector Unions screwing the taxpayer


Per The Washington Examiner, Michigan has both the highest unionization and unemployment rates in the Midwest. Video above via YouTube's dentonexable. You can watch the House debate live here.

Unions have made such a mess of things. according to John Hawkins of right Wing News, one of the top reasons why Unions are bad is "Unions are costing you billions of tax dollars: "Let's put it plain and simple: Government workers shouldn't be allowed to unionize." Period.



Why?
Because your elected representatives are supposed to look out for your interests.

It's obviously in our interest that the city pay as little as possible to government workers, to keep their benefits as low as possible, and to hire as few of them as possible to do the job. However, because the Democratic Party and the unions are in bed with each other, this entire process has been turned on its ear. Instead of looking out for your interests, Democrats try to hire as many government workers as possible, pay them as much as possible, and give them benefits that are as generous as possible, all so that union workers will do more to get them re-elected. And the unions know that they don't have to negotiate.

"In other words, the Democratic Party and the unions are engaged in an open conspiracy to defraud the American taxpayer. There's no way that the American people should allow that to continue."
