[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 956417, member: 60724"] Public employees should not have the right to collective bargaining. Allowing such, ultimately, puts taxpayers at the mercy of greed. Those that support a unions right to collectively bargaining most often cite greedy corporations and employers that would take advantage of the employees if not for the unions. Well, since it is the taxpayers that pay for public employees, and taxpayers don't get to vote on the pay, or the services they often opt in or out of that their taxes provide for, I ask: Who protects them, the taxpayer, from the potential greed of union employees? This is only right, IMHO. Its one thing to bend a private employer over and demand more and more. If unions kill that fatted cow (the corporation) through their greed, then they in turn hurt themselves. We have seen that happen with corporations going under lately, not able to sustain union employee and retiree benefits (not wishing to debate this, just citing the cases and what has been going on). But if unions bend the government over demanding more and more, the govt doesn't fall...the taxpayers just have to pay more. It all has to end somewhere. TJR [/QUOTE]
