Quite simple...public employees should have no better benefits and perks than those of their employers , We the People.
Quite true, but that doesn't make them thugs or change the fact that a lot of them work hard and do their best on the job and that many have very conservative instincts. When I worked at the US Postal Service in the 1980s, I'd say that most of my union coworkers I knew well were strong Reagan supporters.
