[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 809913, member: 4816"] :wink2:I personally do not like the kool aid drinkers from both ends of this argument. I believe a good healthy relationship between employers,employees and unions are healthy and can create many positive results. In the area of "public sector unions" there is a real problem that no sensical person can disagree with . Some key points: 1.We the people the Taxpayers are the employers we pay the bill. The vast majority of us would agree to have the total compenation package a very good one for the public workers competitive with the private sector. 2. Why in many states this does not happen ? Public sector unions use members union dues to provide millions of dollars to elect politicians that will spend our tax money. When the politician gets elected for one or two terms will "payback" the unions support with rediculous sweetheart deals that we pay for. The politician who will be in power only a few years does not care about many of the long term perks that will be unsustainable. If we do not say the word "union" because many of us are stuck on that, it would be very clear that this system is very broken. People that get elected cannot be allowed to use OUR money to pay back political backers. Union or management this corrupt system is bad for all of us. A possible solution: Every state should have a non-partisan citizen committee comprised of retired union and management people that would negotiate the contracts and take this power out of all politicians hands --Democrat and Republican. We the people pay the BILL . The contracts should be negotiated fairly to all of us public and private sector .:peaceful: A little common sense here would go a very long way. [/QUOTE]
