People shy away from this, but public sector employees already have huge advantages: * The jobs are largely undesirable, so threatening to quit is viable * The jobs are public facing (for the major unions like police and teachers) so they can rally the public on their behalf * These professions have extreme leeway for "work to rule" (doing the minimum requiremed) that applies pressure on employer without violating employment agreements. * note: When most people debate unions, they mean collective bargaining obligations, not free association "minority" unions. A minority union can still speak up for its membership and provide financial support for victims of management.
