After usurping the big union bosses and destroying the private sector unions, the all-mighty government unions are now supreme and untouchable. They get everything they ask for because it's no hair off the back of politicians to oblige them. The tax payer ends up paying for it, while the federal and State workers continue their gravy train being Pavlov dogs for voting. Why do you think DC is so f*ed up? The majority work for government or contracted with government.
