Re Pawlenty’s superb WSJ op-ed:
Fat pensions. Big salaries. Civil-service job protections. If any group of workers never needed union representation, it’s public sector employees. Outgoing Governor Tim Pawlenty writes today in the Wall Street Journal that the moral arguments for organizing simply don’t apply to government workers, and unionization ends up putting unelected, unaccountable union bosses in control of public policy…
As readers so patient as to have followed my arguments for the last dozen weeks will already have discerned, I deny the need for bureaucracy in public affairs, and therefore decry every proposed solution to a public problem that demands a new policy.
