> You are twisting logic in a crazy way here by suggesting anyone employed in the public sector is the government. The administration of the country and those doing it are very different from somebody being a public sector worker Am I? The teacher, fireman, police, etc are all directly employed at the state, city, county level. Ultimately they are employed at our behest. The issue with collective bargaining is I have no alternative option. Do I trust the administrators we elect to fire bad teacher? Well they can’t because they have a union. The union will also help elect who ever will give them raises - It’s called “open bargaining”. There are alternative approaches as you suggest. One such suggestion would be allowed tax dollars to be applied at any school of your choosing. Thus there’s a repercussion for poor teaching or school management. Police officers would be more accountable if they could be fired for a bad job and not protected by a union, etc
