The comment I made was likely a little harsher than it needed to be, but what I am saying is from the involvement I have had with government, their bureaucracy is ridiculous. I have nothing against people that work for government, they earn their money just like I do. I feel it is the govt's responsibility to reduce overhead to allow their members to be paid fairly though, otherwise our tax dollars just go up to pay for the increased salaries; the inefficiencies simply get ignored.

Unions like this shouldn't be fighting for increased wages, they should be fighting for the removal of unnecessary overhead.

I am getting away from the main point though, and needless to say, that's not the way to be bargaining.
