What's The Right View With Collective Bargaining When Dealing With Government Unions

We all know and understand the truths about what the real gain or loss here is.

Firstly, can we just differentiate why public unions are the issue versus private unions.

Private Unions have their organization where they are able to negotiate terms of contract with the shareholders and/or owners, who they themselves are directly effected. Things can swing toward or away from your benefit depending on the private market which is the bases of contracts.  You answer more or less directly toward how good or bad your company/business is doing. So logically if things haven't been all to steady an owner may cut some benefits in order to keep everyone employed or may fire a few employees for the benefit of everyone else. Whether you believe this is right or wrong it comes down to private corporations to make those decisions when needed for the benefit of their company and absolutely no place for government.

While in fantasy lies our "love" of the Public Unions that work for the government. Now political correctness keeps us from charging the government unions with being lazy toolbags of the system and its corruption, so I'm just going to call them ignorant. Ignorant for their greed of privileges which they believe the government owes them. Misguided is the logic behind the unions demands for they work for the American people, for our hard earned dollars. These contracts should never hinder a boss (government) from firing an employee for disobedience or failure to properly and efficiently perform their job. Nor should union bosses be allowed to annually ask for raises and better benefits because both parties grant such wishes in order to get the vote, to please their constituents. This is already a flawed system that favors unions at
