Public-sector unions are not the problem
*** begin quote ***
New Jersey’s public employee unions are starting to fight back by doing what working people should have been doing in this country for years. They are taking it to the streets. The teachers were in Trenton last week; today, it was the police and fire unions. Who’s next? As glad as I am to see them take to the street, we have to face the fact that these rallies lack the unity and sense of larger purpose that the Wisconsin fight has had. Workers in the Badger state face the prospect of being stripped of bargaining rights, even after giving the governor every concession he has requested. The issue there is the basic right to organize and act collectively.

“New Jersey’s public employee unions” ARE part of the problem. Part!
This a corruption.
These Unions “donate” huge amounts of money to political campaigns. Usually Democratic. They supply free labor. And, muscle.
Then, they turn the page and “negotiate” “agreements” with the politicians that they elected.
It’s always been “wrong”. But, now it’s reached absurd levels.
We need a systemic fix.
IMHO, the Gooferment should not be running or operating anything. And, certainly not extracting wealth from real people by force.
