[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 956426, member: 54538"] The answer is simple--THEY do. The taxpayers. Via the voting booth. They might not get to vote directly on pay, but they do get to vote on who gets to vote on the pay. Like I've said before--I wholeheartedly support playing hardball with unions as part of budgetary corrections. But I even more wholeheartedly support their right to exist. One thing regarding the Wisconsin situation I've heard many times, but I've never heard a reason for why it is this way--The bill that was just passed exempts police and fire personnel from the union-busting. Why? I don't get that. I can understand why it's critical to not allow them the right to strike. But I don't understand why they'd be exempt from this legislation. Especially when you consider that, to the best I can tell, this isn't the case in most other states pursuing such legislation, and both the fire and police unions are fully supporting the other unions in Wisconsin, even though they themselves have been exempted.
