Without the risk of bankrupting the company you work for the balance of power is tilted in favour of public unions resulting in Salaries and benefits that the private sector unionized or not can't match.

Not to mention public sector unions almost always enjoy the luxury of holding a monopoly on the contracted labour, so they always have the ability to hold the government hostage.
Right to work legislation is desperately needed to balance this out in the interests of taxpayers at large. If unions truly are better for employees, they should have no fear of allowing individuals the freedom to operate as they see best.
