Every corporation has that same goal for employee wages, and yet for some reason the general feel of the discussion is that because they are tax funded they don’t deserve the same rights as private employees to get a fair wage and should accept less simply because they are in the public service.

Unions are definitely infately inflating wages vs non-union workers in both public and private sectors. It’s kind of the point. Whether it’s beyond what they are qualified for really goes back to if they have trouble filling positions. Today they don’t so no wage increases should be given.
While they deserve the same rights as private employees the general public should not support them and we should think they should accept less wages. That’s the only logical position as the owner of the company. When a union strikes against a corporation it’s the shareholders of the corporation vs the workers. Why should a public strike be any different.
The public should never support strike action it’s against their best interest.
