A city's firefighters and police going on strike if and when they choose. The only problem here is that they're NOT (dis) organized labor. Like the Armed Forces, they are paid, and expected, to "serve and protect" the public, and should not the "right" to hamstring public safety for bigger, more unreasonable paychecks Hmmmmm……..disturbing.

The history goes beyond centuries to deny workers rights for security and safety, if you find the time to research. This bill was introduced in mid 1990, and is supported by police officers, firefighters, teachers, auto workers, carpenters, plumbers, mine workers, and the list goes on. So why do these folks believe this right is worth fighting for? Why not ask one of them about adequate protections for public safety employees’ collective bargaining rights. We all know one. They are your neighbor.
