Unions would be alright for workers dealing with large private corporations..but really, for the Federal Government??? You mean the Federal Govt. is such an unfair employer, that it has to have a union?..When their Fed Union workers who are making almost twice as much, as their private sector counterparts??....Whose taxes are paying for their 'services'....and whose union dues are being paid by those taxes...which $62 million was donated to Obama's campaign..instead of going to those 'dear little children' that the bullshitters are saying they are so concerned about????...and Obama's Administration is paying them off with bullshit payback favors???...Uhhh, sounds like a scam to me.

I think that's why not too many comments, about the union bull-crap, in this particular area.
Not only that, when FDR instituted all those public works projects(which is the origin of some of the Fed employees work force, he specifically DID NOT want them unionized...for what its worth.
Being for unions, is OK, but not in this case, during a long recession, when there is no money, and the money and benefits could be better spent, than stuffing the faces of unions bosses(read: corrupt 'special interests' mobsters)..NOR should FEDERAL Unions really need any collective bargaining, being as they work for the govt!
This is not like workers and private corporations...this is too obvious a scam for power!!!!!...oh, and money, too!!!
