Well, being the VP of a Law Enforcement union I can certainly say that we would rather have more officers any day than maintaining peoples overtime. You link me the book that says unions would rather maintain a smaller work force in exchange for more OT.

Even though I am a VP with my union, I am one of those people that like and hate unions. I would suggest that most unions like to swell their membership. It provides them more money and more bargaining power. Unions don't get money based on a percentage of what their members make. They get money on the number of members they have.
