I have a tough time with this one myself. My father was a police officer and, as he rose through the ranks, he had to deal with police officer union corruption at every level - he can tell you horror story after horror story of the problems driven by the police officer’s union. On the other hand, now that I’m working myself, in the very non-unionized field of computer programming, I can at least see why people began to realize that collective bargaining was so important.
- cagenut 7y agoThere are a bunch of reasons why police unions are somewhat of a special case. Enumerating them can get dragged into a lot of disagreements, but its important to remember they're an outlier and not the common-case for labor unions.
