It's far more petty than that. No one actually has to be inconvenienced. The average American is just plain resentful of unionized public employees.


Jealous because they get benefits private companies don't offer anyone below a certain level. This is accepted because top level pay is so mucher higher.

Unionized employees realized it is better we get more now and take less if/when we make it to the top(which won't happen anyways).


Don't forget screwing the next generation! Unions love incumbancy.

Public-sector unions should not be a thing.


Maybe it's because police unions form a sizable chunk of those unions...
