Good find, comparing the struggles of lower income workers and the road to freedom provided by state jobs. Where the left wing nut job who wrote this article falls off the chart in in the relationship with workers, their union vs bankrupt states. Government workers should have never has the right to enter into relationships with labor unions. Labor moved into these relationships because they found a stable working force that could be robbed of union dues. Jobs that would never be eliminated(they thought) or moved overseas.
Its time to end this relationship...now!
Did the NYT reporter think to ask what part union contracts played in making the steel and auto-related industries leave Ohio, and Michigan, and Indiana? Unions are a version of a Ponzi scheme. The first ones in make a lot of money, businesses can’t afford their escalating costs and close or move, and there are no jobs except government “make work” jobs left.
What is the purpose of public education? I’m starting to think that it’s sole raison d’etre is to provide jobs for whiny libs.
