+1. 2020-2021 made me realize that public sector employees with monopolies should not be allowed to unionize. And certainly not allowed to strike.  If you have a monopoly as  the sole provider of FAPE, there is no one else to fill the gap.  You can extract unrealistic and lopsided concessions by shutting down essential government services.  And you end up harming the people you are supposed to serve.

If GM goes on strike and it harms the availability of cars, people can buy Toyotas. If GM workers strike and demand too many concessions, GM becomes less competitive. This means that, down the line, there will be layoffs or out sourcing/off shoring. The union negotiates knowing that if workers 
 are off the job too long or demand too much, GM becomes less competitive and ultimately workers are harmed.

Public sector jobs have monopolies.  Employees have great jobs security and are not subject to the pressures of capitalism. They should not be allowed to force closures and extract the sun and moon before they provide an essential government service.  Especially when they refused to return last year and got first shot at vaccines billions of dollars through the CARES Act. Once that happened, they were supposed return in person.   They have too much power and no guardrails.

I say this as a unionized Fed (although we cannot strike). Look it SSA’s field offices. It’s beyond insane that they have not reopened yet because of protracted discussions between the union and management. [/quote]

+1 and well said. [/quote]
