[QUOTE="brett636, post: 866133, member: 249"] You'd have to ask him, but he didn't create the false distinction. An awful lot of people who really should know better have bought into the whole public sector union/private sector union stuff, which is a testament to how effective the propaganda has been.[/QUOTE] There is an absolute distinction between a private sector union employee, and a public union employee. First off a private union employee has to abide by the rules of the marketplace in which he or she works. If they ask for too much they can put themselves out of work by pricing themselves and their company outside what people would reasonably pay for their product or service. A public sector union employee has no such constraint and their leaders know they have the advantage of the police power of government to get what ever it is they desire come contract time. Not to mention the fact that lots of public sector union dues (courtesy of the taxpayer) ends up in the pockets of the politicians who promise them the most. It's a problem when politicians use money they get at the point of a gun to buy votes to keep themselves in power which is why even FDR himself spoke out against public sector unions. The only propaganda here is the notion that public sector unions and private sector unions are one in the same. I would also like to clarify something mentioned earlier. This is not just a victory of the people over a public sector union. This is a victory of the people over uncontrolled government spending. Our future depends heavily on more victories just like these all over this nation and most importantly in Washington. [/QUOTE]
