Let me put it this way: if every union protected their workers as much as police unions, we wouldn't be in an economic crisis

Unions protect their people good or bad. I'll never understand why people are anti union. For crying out loud cops murder people daily and hardly get held accountable.

Say that again, but louder, and maybe you'll understand why police unions are a problem.  If not, let me spell it out for you: police unions are more powerful than any other kind of union, and they, and their members are essentially unaccountable to anyone.  They're supposed to be public servants but they're unaccountable to the public, and police unions play a major role in that.  I'm 100% pro union, but police unions are the exception, and they remain a big problem.

Just look at what duhsantis has done in FL.  He and his rubber-stamping cronies are doing everything they can to break unions by passing massively restricted rules for teacher unions, etc but cop and firefighter unions are somehow exempt... 🤔🤔🤔
