We are a nation of "gangs". Every special group is, in essence, a gang. As you might expect, the biggest, most powerful gang usually wins. Some gangs are actually pretty reasonable but this places them at a disadvantage. Being reasonable is the position of weaker gangs. When you are the biggest gang you don,t have to be reasonable.
Unions are gangs. Most are large but they don't have to be to be powerful. When in combat they have a weapon equivalent to the atomic bomb, the STRIKE. Imagine a gang of hoodlums taking over a government and shutting down essential services. Would you resist that? The actors are different but the play is the same when government workers threaten to or do the same. Would you resist that?
Government workers hold a unique power to bring government to a screeching halt. In the control of the wrong people with ulterior motives, workers could contribute to disastrous consequences. Most have been conditioned to obey union leaders without question.
Much of the unreasonableness of union demands stems from the need of the leaders to perform. If you are a leader who people are paying to speak for and obtain some benefit for them, how long do you think you would last if nothing changed year after year? The leaders are compelled to make demands to preserve their positions.
Governments are one of the few institutions that operate at one-hundred percent overhead. There is no profit from which to negotiate wages and benefits. Any increase in labor costs can be paid only from higher taxes. Each time a government worker receives any increase in compensation, taxpayers receive a decrease in theirs.
