I'm in favor of private sector unions. My father was a union steward for years. If a company agrees to a union contract that requires them to raise prices then consumers can take their business someplace else. Not so with our government. When our politicians agree to increase wages and benefits more than likely they will raise the money by taken some away from those of us who cannot afford these benefits for ourselves. Perhaps we need some kind of means test to allow us to take care of our own families before making us take care of others.
