Quote Of The Week

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management."   ---Franklin D. Roosevelt

FDR realized, as today’s so-called liberals mostly do not, that there is something fundamentally corrupt about empowering public employees unions with mandatory union dues to support political candidates for high office and then, once those candidates are elected, “negotiating” with them for wages and benefits.

That’s a conflict of interest, not a right.

And, how is this not equal to anti-trust violation concepts?

Franklin had it right. Such common sense is hard to argue with.
