I’d do it for free. I’m going through a breakup and could use one too. Sorry you’re going through a hard time.

Close! Unions of employees working for me as a business owner are good, because the only person who suffers from that situation is me, and everyone in the union benefits. But you replace “me” in that arrangement with the general (tax paying) public, then the benefit to the union members has the potential to be entirely offset by the detriment to everyone else. And, to the point of the guy I replied to originally, the public has the choice to change policy on public labor if needed.

Strongly agree with this. Private sector unions work to support the interests of labor, against those of capital owners. Public sector unions work for the interests of labor, against the interests of the public in general in the form of the government (provided you believe the government works generally for the benefit of the public, which…. Kinda?).
