QUOTEThe founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. When government unions strike, they strike against taxpayers. considered this “unthinkable and intolerable.”even the most pro labour US president didnt believe public servant should have the right to collective bargaining.The reason is simpleif you work for the government, your boss is actually not the government, but the tax payer. You cannot strike against the tax payer because your salary is not set by the tax payer but the parliament.imagine if fire fighter organise strikes, what would happen to the houses on fire during the period of strike?and police officers too, criminals will have a field day.unions are for private sector not public sector.
