I do not know if it is true in the States as well as the UK but certainly unions are much stronger in the public sector than the private. I suppose at the end of the day in the private sector one is answerable to shareholders and the bottom line is profit whereas in the public sector all you try to do is obtain more money from government whether it be local or national.

That is exactly right.
