The taxpayer is never represented.

Okay. Who is urging that we send letter to members of Congress or state assemblies about it? Is there an organization working against it? Is there a bill that we should be reading in full, right here?

Or are we only complaining?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Or perhaps if the dues are no longer mandatory these unions will have to start SERVING THEIR MEMBERS if they want people to actually belong.

Public employee unions are the definition of corruption and operate as the very definition of a conflict of interest. The public interest is secondary in their continue pursuit of political power over those they are supposedly serving.

[unixfox]

Public unions are nothing more than another arm of the democRAT party.

It’s as simple as that.

Union for federal government employees exist only because of an Executive Order. Trump could get rid of them with the stroke of a pen.

[XRdsRev]

Federal employee unions are voluntary and employees who do not join do not pay any dues. The unions are not allowed to bargain on pay other than approving the type of pay system but not the amounts paid. Local and state unions are involved in much more bargaining than Federal employee unions.

[plain talk]

Why stop at public-sector unions?

[thirst4truth]

The government unions are bankrupting whole cities, Stockton, Chicago and entire states, Oregon.

Their retirement system is nothing like the private sector. A recent retiree at 55 or so, is making $45,000 a month, taxpayer money in retirement until the guy dies, 30 or 40 years from now!!!

Unions don't "help" the unemployed workers who want to compete with them and improve services. They don't "help" broke taxpayers or the consumers. Such a load of crap.
