"Government unions" is an oxymoron. They are not a capitalistic entity and can only hold their jurisdictions hostage to get what they want. Most of our local and federal governments have laws against public employees striking and hence recognizes them as monopolies.
You have one goofed up sense of capitalism. Sounds like you are a communist or socialist both of which amount to the same thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ricardo Araoz" <[email protected]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2011 5:16 AM Subject: Re: [OT] Egyptian unrest El 01/02/11 02:19, Nicholas Geti escribió: > Sigh!.

LOL You haven't got a clue. It's your capitalist world, your choice, everyone for himself. So if companies are not concerned with giving good services/goods/etc but only with making money, why would the teachers do otherwise? Are they stupid? Can **they** eat dirt? If a customer won't pay what you think is proper, will you do the job anyway? So why would the teachers be different? They do what you do, they try to get the most money out of every work hour. The only difference is that they group together (union) in order to bring to the negotiating table an equivalent force to that of their employers. Whoever said a union had to be leftist, it's a capitalistic thing designed to obtain maximum profits. When have private companies acted otherwise? When has a private company not maintained it's power? Have you not seen private companies lobby and campaign towards their own interests? Why would a union do different?
