Public sector unions are wrong these days..
They ask for more pay and benefits when govt cant afford it.
The assumption is that Govt can raise taxes to cover any increased labour costs for unions.
However especially here in Canada, Taxes are high enough.
What happens is that spending has to be reduced in other areas.
Now Public Sector Unions say they are fighting for the average person, however making the average person pay more taxes for benefits that he can only dream of and reducing other services to him is not progressive at all...
Its quite regressive really.
