Public sector unions are a different story than private sector unions. If they don't get what they want at the bargaining table they can go to the state legislatures and use the huge political fund reserves available to influence a change in state laws to get what they want, thus effectively going around the bargaining table. No private sector union has this power. (No state can pass a law forcing a private company to pay more, and no vote of the taxpayers can decide what a private company pays).
