It's even worse, CdC...most of the government employees are union, and you're right...they end up negotiating with whomever holds the power...which in most instances are union benefactors who need their support to get bills passed.
It's pure unadulturated bullsh!t.
I love dealing with labor boards who regulate union elections for private employers, and all of the board investigators, attorneys and administrative law judges are members of unions. Sure glad they're not biased.
