NICK SCHULZ ON PUBLIC-EMPLOYEE UNIONS: It’s Time To End A Rigged System. “Public sector employees want to maximize their wages and benefits, too. But unlike their private sector counterparts, they have a very big role to play in choosing the employers on the other side of the negotiating table. They do this by taking funds earned through collective bargaining and sending them right back to the people they bargain with in the form of political contributions. If that sounds like a rigged system; well, that’s because it is.”
