Thus you will end up with a less capable workforce...
That isn't good for anyone...

I'm going to offend some people with this, but that's already the case. With the economy the way it is in Alberta, a government job is already much less desirable for capable people. The job marketplace is a self-selection process where on the whole those who worry about getting laid off in bad times seek refuge in the union-friendly public service. Unfortunately for government these are the same people you don't want working for you if you want to actually get things done or do things more efficient.
Heck I notice a huge difference in quality of people between small and large private industry companies. The more useless people seek the safest jobs at the bigger companies. Government jobs are a step even further in that direction.
