Unions And The Modern Era

What I would like to see is would anybody go for, accept it, if our military wanted to unionize?  Of course not, that would be absurd to consider such a vital part of American government to be subjected to bargaining of a job signed by contract, to victimize at very critcal moments, that could jeopardize national secrurity. The point is the founding and development of unions in the 20s & 30s was a great thing for labor, at the early years of the industrial revolution. However, like much other ground breaking civil revolutions, for ex: women's right to vote, segregation laws, etc... the protection of labor from the big bad corporations is nowhere near as vital as it was in the infancy of the industrial revolution, therefore the unions have ran the major course of their need. I say that with the utmost respect for labor rights, not as much for the rights of an entity to fleece the American taxpayer as a whole. In a time of litigation and whistleblower lawsuits as well as wrongful discharge lawsuits, the aid of the media to overnight victimize to bring to trial and convict a company on national television, such as Toyota, and Wal-Mart, recently, will cost a company hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in bad media, lost stock, performance to decreased sales. No entity that provides public services in this country, paid for by tax payer dollars should have a taxpayer funded pension, or any other compensation package funded by tax dollars after the individual employment has ended at such job. This would include police, fire, teachers, public officials, as well as county workers and state employees. These jobs are at the liberty and good fortune of the public, we as the taxpayers expect these services to be provided at the lowest economic burden to us - as good stewards of government it is your responsibility to provide that. SO DO IT!!!!
