You keep claiming everything else is an issue where the common denominator is unions themseleves.

  No? It isn't? Cops everywhere in North America have the issue of being unfireable despite literally committing crimes. Electricians don't have this issue. Both of them are highly unionized. So clearly the common denominator isn't unions. Even before their mass unionization cops were able to get away with far too much and they get away with far more than any other profession, unionized or otherwise.

    There is a causality issue in this thread. Folks that are anti-union overly focus on police unions as a metric. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_fixation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_fixation

    Because cops work for the government, which has a monopoly on policing services and the tax revenue that pays for it. The unions can therefore be far more abusive, as their patron and customer, which is the taxpayer and resident, respectively, is captive, absent these two groups being able to successfully organize a strong enough political coalition to counter the Democrats in the electoral process.
