Power as it pertains to a union is about their ability to negotiate working conditions, pay, and worker protections. I know of no large group of public employees with better worker protections.
- Jensson 4y agoWhat worker protection has the police union negotiated that the teachers union failed to get? Qualified immunity isn't due to the unions, and there is no reason to give it to teachers since teachers aren't required to be violent to do their job. If teachers were required to be violent then they would have qualified immunity as well.
- syzarian 4y agoPolice hold municipalities hostage if they don’t get their way in terms of protection from prosecution for violating peoples’ civil rights and for exerting nonjudicial punishments. In my city a councilman complained about police brutality and the police purposefully responded to non violent 911 calls hours after they were made. When they would show up they would tell people to thank their councilman for the delay. Police commit more domestic violence on average and get prosecuted for this violence at a much lower rate than non police. In some municipalities police are effectively a gang.
