You came back around to the point but for a while you were lumping the argument for private and public in to one argument.
I don’t think that anyone here has the attitude…

The “I don’t get it, so why should they” argument is foolish and dangerous. This is they way the PTB are taking us ALL down. Time for all of us to rise up and take back what belongs to the workers in the first place.

It’s simply when one large group of people offers its vote in return for direct economic exchange that I have a problem with (as most other people do). You can make your pro-union stance all you want. Thats fine. That is essentially a relationship between you and your employer and the free market will that out.
In the public sector there is no free market force at play and the public union is holding a goverment at ransom.
Want to adovacte public unions? Then I say privatize everything in goverment and let the workers under those private companies unionize. This disconnects the vote from the public officials incintive to rewards groups for thier vote. Lastly lets see how long most of these companies would survive operating like this. Ih this case market forces would again yeild the result.
I would love to have a pension but at the it seems that time has proven this concept non-durable.
