“Public unions should not exist. Public sector employees are voters and taxpayers, just like everyone else, so they are represented by the same people who might be considered equivalents to the private sector management that counterweighs private sector unions. There is no counterweight to public unions, other than the much diffused and diluted interests of the voting taxpayers, so their rapacity is checked only by the competition with the other hogs at the government trough.“

Indeed. I offered this example because I'm a "local" (though not in NYC proper any more), but it's illustrative of an across-the-nation problem.
