No public employees should not be unionized. They don’t have competition like private companies who have to compete with lower prices and therefore lower wages. The teachers claim that it is for the students when we all know its about higher salaries and benefits, pensions and lower class sizes.
The public can’t afford to continue to buy them off. One day, when state bankruptcy is declared and their pensions are cut by bankruptcy judges, then we will have to endure their tears.
