[quote=sdduuuude][quote=CA renter]Not true. A public union’s #1 adversary would be the private corporations/entities who want to take over all public assets and services. [/quote]
Again – you ignore the fact that a union is a private entity. Corporation. Union. Same thing. Both highly profit-oriented and, most certainly, capitalists.[/quote]
You missed the entire point of the post, SDD, which was that the unions are one of many parties lined up at the trough. If you take one away, the void will be filled by another. The attacks on unions are not coming from “taxpayer advocates,” but from those other parties whose slice of the pie would become larger if one of their competitors were taken out.
Again, the privatization of public assets and services has been going on for decades…have your taxes gone down as a result?
In most small departments, there are no paid union/association employees. They are all volunteers, so not profit oriented, and they are certainly not capitalists. Are you talking about the heads of the large national unions? If so, how are they capitalists?
