Oh, and:

Unions in government are a monopoly provider. If GM workers go on strike, 
you can buy Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, etc. But government workers have 
monopoly power over the government. The unions negotiate with the 
politicians they give campaign money to, a conflict of interest. This has 
created a completely unsustainable fiscal nightmare.

Even Progressive-socialist FDR said that unions should NOT be allowed in 
the government.
Unions inside the government are now threatening the very financial 
collapse of our nation, as well as others around the world!

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective 
bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public 
service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to 
public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government 
make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to 
bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee 
organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws 
enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative 
officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many 
instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or 
rules in personnel matters.
...

"Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have 
no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees. Upon 
employees in the Federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole 
people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in 
the conduct of Government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since 
their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a 
strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their 
part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their 
demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of 
Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and 
intolerable. It is, therefore, with a feeling of gratification that I have 
noted in the constitution of the National Federation of Federal Employees 
the provision that "under no circumstances shall this Federation engage in 
or support strikes against the United States Government." - FDR
