USPS?
You can't ding the USPS employees if the deal is just that the government is a
poor negotiator with the employees' union...
In most cases any business with a union ends up that way because of poor
management. The various attempts to unionize, e.g., fast food workers or
Wal*Mart workers tend to fail, IMO, because in general the employees are
reasonably happy with their terms of employment.
Now you sound like a 'Republican' but liberals don't work that way.
Unions are 'good', period, regardless of how good anything else is and
they write laws to make it so, some Federal and some State. Like, for
example, 'closed shop' states where it's flat illegal to work in a
unionized professions unless you join the union, so it doesn't matter
one whit how good 'management' is.
And our Union loving friends have proposed a law banning secret ballot
voting (precisely because of the 'problem' you describe) so union
thugs, who, as the saying goes, 'know where you live', can 'observe'
whether you vote the 'proper' way.
And, of all people, even George McGovern has come out against it,
which gives you an idea of what has become of, so called,
'liberalism'.
Frankly, I am loath to call 'liberals' liberals because they are
anything but. They have simply usurped the word but none of the
meaning.
Yep. I'M a Liberal in the full Libertarian sense. Today's "liberals"
are leftist weenie socialist bums/thieves/leaches.
