Membership in unions, a key base of support for Democrats, remained significantly higher in the public sector, where local unions for police, teachers and firefighters helped push rates up to 33.6 percent, compared with just 6.2 percent in the private sector.
Five times the rate of union membership, public vs. private.
In other words, you'll have a very hard time unionizing against a corporation that has a bottom line to protect, but will find it much easier to unionize against taxpayers and force them, many of whom are even poorer than the workers, to pay your salaries.
What a sick world this is.
