I have to wonder about government. Governments are ones who passed laws to draft people, which means enslave them for X years of public servitude, using coercion to get them to comply to go to war. Slaves built monuments under government rule. This drafting happened even when you had democratically elected government at work. If the public will is willing to enslave people in terms of the greater good, and put them in internment camps, why would anyone who works for them trust them to be decent employers without there being a contract?

So the question is: What makes government such a superior employer that it wouldn't end up being worse than private sector employers? Those who argue that public sector employees shouldn't have unions, but private sector employees can have them, are arguing this. Can you explain if you hold this view, or can you come out flat now and explain that you actually believe that there shouldn't be unions period?
