Unions are thugs.

There is sure a lot of union bashing on this thread. I wonder if all if you will take the same stance when the Sheriff's, local police, firefighters, and prison guards conduct a work action.

Damn right. Happy to see it.

Public servants should not conduct work actions if they really care about the people. Get union thugs out of vital government services now.

Unions and unions and unions are all thugs. Makes no difference who, what or where they represent. Since the mid 70's they have become a scourge on this country.

They're only a small minorty of union workers. UAW, Teamsters and AFLCIO have pretty much ruined our economy, the NEA is a rabid socialist organization out to steal our country and the hearts and minds of our children. We have no way to make laws to limit the power of unions, so if they go on strike and especially if they get violent with the scabs, yes. Sorry.

Civil-service unions would be advised to remember Reagan and the Air Traffic Controllers.

Around my neck of the woods, the police are welcome to strike -- we're all armed. I'm reminded of a police strike in Albuquerque, N. M. in 1974. The citizens started patrolling their neighborhoods themselves. With shotguns. Crime went down considerably

Work action? Is that a polite phrase for forcing others to stop working to support your wage demands?
