Poster. My argument was only about public unions. I strongly advocate for private unions. What private companies choose to do or not do dosen't effect my taxes. I agree progress has been made in curtailing public union total compensation, depending on government level and locale. It is a local government issue: city, town, county, school district, water district, state or whatever. As such is the case I shouldn't generalize. Days of mailmen working a few hours and goofing off for 4 or more are gone. Also gone are teachers that graduated from State colleges almost entirely on the taxpayers' dime - that worked 180 5 hour days/year - claiming they were underpaid. But there remains much abuse that is tollerated as supervisers are often those promoted within that know only "that's the way it is" and have no management skills and no interest/incentive to change. I see it every day, absolutely each and every day.
