Douglas, it is OBVIOUS that public employees, per your post,should NOT get paid 2-20 times more than the private sector for the same or similar work.

Why do people edit out the FIRST part of FDRs “warning” about public sector unions?

“My dear Mr. Steward:
As I am unable to accept your kind invitation to be present on the occasion of the Twentieth Jubilee Convention of the National Federation of Federal Employees, I am taking this method of sending greetings and a message.

Reading your letter of July 14, 1937, I was especially interested in the timeliness of your remark that the manner in which the activities of your organization have been carried on during the past two decades “has been in complete consonance with the best traditions of public employee relationships.” Organizations of Government employees have a logical place in Government affairs.

The desire of Government employees for fair and adequate pay, reasonable hours of work, safe and suitable working conditions, development of opportunities for advancement, facilities for fair and impartial consideration and review of grievances, and other objectives of a proper employee relations policy, is basically no different from that of employees in private industry. Organization on their part to present their views on such matters is both natural and logical, but meticulous attention should be paid to the special relationships and obligations of public servants to the public itself and to the Government.”

FDR was prophetic about public unions sucking the life out of the tax payer. Public union membership in California is 1.5 million dwarfing the private sector union membership (who are not paid by tax payers) by about 500,000. There is no arms length collective bargaining practiced for public unions. They give huge campaign contributions to our politicians who turn around and stick us with the bill for overly generous benefit packages. It’s unfair to the tax payer and unfair to our kids.

The public-employee pensions:
Ask people to word-associate with ‘Civil Servant’, and you might get things like ‘grey suit’, ‘bowler hat’, ‘faceless bureaucrat’ and ‘lazy incompetent boring waste of taxpayers’ money’. And that’s just from female ex-Prime Ministers.
