Public Sector Unions are unconstitutional, a cancer across all of government and will soon be tested in court and eliminated. That legal decision will be a new birth of freedom for Americans being tyrannized by Federal workers and Blue state workers nationwide. Their criminal symbiotic relationship with corrupt politicians must end. Disgusting. Corrupt. Perverted. Criminal. Bust all public sector unions now and save America. Read the book “Not Accountable. Rethinking the Constitutionality of Public Employee Unions” by Phillip K Howard.
Public unions should be illegal, end of story.
