My sympathy for unions largely applies to the private sector. Public sector unions do not negotiate in good faith w/management for fair profit sharing. They buy politicians & finance campaigns to give them what they want, and to take on debt or raise taxes if money runs out.
I make an exception for local police unions. They share many of the same problems as other public sector unions - and gave some unique ones as well - but strong unions seem necessary to protect cops from demagogues & politically-driven witch hunts (it’s a hard question, though).
Even FDR was against public sector unions. Not againsttheir demands, but their existence, period. nationalaffairs.com/publications/d…
