When your employer is a private entity, that's not a big deal. It's a dispute between two private parties, let them hash it out amongst themselves. But when your employer is the government, forming a union is an act against the public's interests. Public servants should never, ever be allowed to act against the public's interests under any circumstances. And this goes double when your job is a fundamental part of public safety. It's why Reagan fired the air traffic controllers: because such a group going on strike is a direct attack on public safety. Imagine if there was a police department that actually did their jobs instead of choking black people to death on the streets; now imagine that "good" police department suddenly went on strike because of a pay dispute. Imagine how many people calling 911 for domestic violence, home invasions, etc. would be completely and thoroughly screwed. Police unions simply are incompatible with public safety.
