The unions are a great thing, but I don't agree with a lot of what they do. Like telling their members how to vote.
Air Controllers, I remember that, they didn't show up for work, they shouldn't be able to do that, when I worked under the IUEC, I couldn't even strike a job site, if we didn't show up for work, they found others to do it.
Collective bargaining is putting all the benefits and pay on the table at the same time, by eliminating most that, the unions will have to negotiate one item at a time, the unions prefer to do that all at once.
This does take away from the unions power, but the things they are talking about changing right now, the unions have already agreed to.

That is not what collective bargaining means...the collective are the members of the union...and each aspect of the union's demands upon the employer...is then bargained/negotiated. It is not presenting every demand as a package...with a take it or else...every aspect of the demands are negotiated individually.
The Governor and the Repubs want to end bargaining period. The state will dictate what workers make and what benefits they will be allowed...take it or leave it...the same as the majority of employers do.
