Hound, you don't seem to get my point. There is no adverse relationship in the negotiation process when Democrats are in charge which is exactly the problem. It is a symbiotic relationship. Democrats are willing to use taxpayer dollars to financially reward unions for their support of the reelection of the Democrats. They do so by providing ever sweeter salary and benefits packages to union members who in turn pay dues which the unions in turn use overwhelmingly to support Democrats in every election. None of this is opinion, it is based on facts.

The only time it becomes contentious is when a Republican is elected and has to face the fiscal nightmare that the unions and Democrats left them. None of this is opinion, it is a fact.

Republicans can choose to use the elimination of collective bargaining for benefits or even to eliminate the union in order to rein in out of control spending on lavish benefits if they can pass a law in their state doing so. That is a fact.

I think that is a good way to approach this tremendous problem. That is opinion.
