    So what I’m hearing is let’s just disband public service unions. Sorry for teachers union but we can make that work better for them anyway if police cant have a union either. Just take all the money from them, and give it to teachers, and one half of the problem is solved.

    Or reclassify police from “public good” (less likely).

    Sorry but government employees shouldn’t -need- or even be eligible for unions because thats what elections are for. Unhappy with the protections of your job? Ballot initiative them better. Or get bent. One or the other.

      Most government employees are not elected. Needing the entire state to vote on a ballot initiative to get a raise would make it even harder than it already is for teachers…

      This comment was made after the half dozen edits you made clarifying to no one.

      We can only wish teachers unions were as powerful as police unions. The world would be very different
