Unions don't really do shit for Feds. Don't believe me - look back at PATCO and (Reagan ??)

Walk around the Pentagon on any given day and tell me they are productive. It's bad enough that government employees are not motivated but to protect their jobs? You can find anyone around the globe to be as unproductive as them. We need to cut government spending and it has to start in house. Cut 10% across the board and let them operate on that for a year. Next year, do the same.

It's a tough call really. The GOV needs good people and job security is the carrot before the horse. When Obama brought about sequestration and civil employees lost 20% of their pay many good workers started hitting the road to find more lucrative opportunities. The bad workers stuck it out but their production got even worse. Even the good workers stopped giving two shits. My department is still playing catch-up from those terribly lean budget years. So without Unions we may be able to trim the fat, but we may not be able to keep good employees when the next Obama decides to fuck the Federal workers.

Works for a lot of bureaucrats seemingly though.
