As far as Unions are concerned, if they are in support of a bill then I know the consumers are taking it in the derrier. The worst is the public service unions. Particularly the California Teachers Association. Anytime anyone has proposed legislation that would allow incompetant teachers to be dismissed they freak out like you are asking them to take a seventy five percent pay cut. It seems so ubsurd to me that you can't get rid of incompetance but they think job secuirty is some sort of divine right. In LA they have what is called the "dance of the lemons". At a high school, when enough parents complain about a principle, they just move him or her to another high school. They just keep moving them around. They do the same thing with teachers. If you question this policy you are accused of attacking eduction. The prisons union in California is also completely out of hand. Prisoners are getting killed and beat up all the time by correctional officers, but if any legislator even hints at having an investigation why so many prisoners in california end up in hospitals (or why so many female inmate end up pregnant or with veneral disease) the prison unions claim they are soft on law enforcement and siding with the criminals. In San Franicsco the transit union has insured that the average transit worker earns six figures and they get four months off a year.
There are always people on every side of an issue, but there are people that have a vested financial interest and that is all they care about.
