Remove the legislation that gives them undue power. Do not remove their ability to negotiate in the first place.

Or, do what we do with the private sector... Let them strike.


Yep, that seems fine to me. Obviously, I don't think these jobs should exist, anyway (including police/fire)... but if you're going to contend that the Government must provide these things, you should also do so without impeding on the rights of the employees (right to assembly).

Although, the cynic in me does posit a question: those who are often in favour of powerul public sector unions also seem to be in favour of big Government, as Government obviously so humanitarian and has our best interests at heart... if that was the case, what need would there be for public sector unions?
