<p>Great video, Willy, short and to the point. I agree that public teacher's unions are just as worthy (if not more) as police unions to be disbanded. By September, public school teachers in Michigan will have been effectively idle for six months and during that time will be bringing in significantly more money than many of our areas full-time essential workers get for a full year's work. </p>

<p>Thanks, Epictetus, we try to stretch the bounds of poignancy here, at times to the point of being repoignant to some. </p>
<p>Police unions are an interesting political animal. On the right, police are mostly revered and unions are mostly in disfavor; on the left it's the reverse. So both political parties have some ambivalent feelings on the issue; thus only when the stars line up right, you may have some bipartisan movement against police and other public sector unions.</p>

<p>I don't see that alignment coming into play in the politically-charged environment of the campaigning season, nor does it seem to be a significant topic of discussion going on at the national level to cure the perceived problems. Neither party is going to strongly go against police unions, because it will offend too many of their own party. Next year, maybe.</p>

<p>Excellent article X. I have never been in favor of public employee unions especially the most damaging union of all and that being the Teachers Unions. Add on the fact that students are being indoctrinated with leftist ideology and we have a brew of brain washing never experienced in America before.</p>

<p>An incredible poignant piece X. While I am a believer in a functioning government which includes a police force similar in action as it is now, the idea of public sector unions has always bothered me. It should be the individual and their actions that determines their outcomes in life and their jobs, and not the protection of a system that prevents the more successful from improving their standing.

<p>An incredible poignant piece X. While I am a believer in a functioning government which includes a police force similar in action as it is now, the idea of public sector unions has always bothered me. It should be the individual and their actions that determines their outcomes in life and their jobs, and not the protection of a system that prevents the more successful from improving their standing. Similar to FDR, I believe that Private Sector Unions can play a crucial role, in the public sector, employees are already in the limelight and thus do not need a union to bring their concerns to the light of day.</p>
