”A 2019 study from the researchers at the University of Chicago analyzed violent police incidents following a 2003 Florida Supreme Court decision that granted sheriffs’ deputies the right to organize.

Public sector unionism is a plague upon the taxpayer. They strangle public institutions, draining them, and blackmailing them into conceding to their outrageous demands. They protect bad employees. They engage in a broad-daylight grift at the expense of a captive customer. They lead to worse employee behavior, worse service to the public, and should be abolished.
