The public employee unions.
Published:
Not to be confused with private sector employee unions. These public sector unions are at the heart of the economic troubles that most USA states face. These unions feed the Democratic political machines. The USA taxpayer pays these union public sector employees their salaries, pensions and healthcare for life. Does someone pay for your healthcare and pensions for life? H3ll no. They should all be made illegal. If they don't like it, fire them all! There are 46 million unemployed USAmericans that will be willing to step in and take over, trust me there is nothing special about anything they do.............and don't give me that police and firefighter crap, it ain't rocket science, teachers, bureaucrats, let the free market and common sense run the local, state govts. and federal also.
One of the big points being left out of the discussion is the difference between public and private sector unions.
Taxpayers have been screwed forever and again are being screwed by the obfuscation of the subject and we are sick of it.

"The fight in Wisconsin is over Governor Walker's 144-page Budget Repair Bill. The parts everyone is focusing on have to do with the right to collectively bargain being stripped from public sector unions (except for the unions that supported Walker running for Governor). Focusing on this misses a large part of what the bill would do.

The industrial revolution made it possible for a larger segment of the population to work year-round, since this labor was not tied to the season and artificial lighting made it possible to work longer each day. Peasants and farm laborers moved from rural areas to the factories, and working time during a year has been significantly higher since then.[5] Before collective bargaining and worker protection laws, there was a financial incentive for a company to maximize the return on expensive machinery by having long hours. Records indicate that work schedules as arduous as twelve to sixteen hours per day, six to seven days per week were practiced in some industrial sites.
The automobile manufacturer, Henry Ford, was an ardent proponent of shorter work hours, which he introduced unilaterally in his own factories. Ford stated that he pursued this policy for business rather than humanitarian reasons. He believed that workers (who were also the main consumers of products) needed adequate leisure time to consume products and thus perceive a need to purchase them. Over the long term, consumer markets needed to be grown. This view of the economy has become the predominant one since then.
Recent studies[6][7] supporting a four-day week have shown that reduced work hours not only increase consumption and invigorate the economy, but also improve worker's level of education (due to having extra time to take classes and courses) and worker's health (less work-related stress and extra time for exercise). Reduced hours also save money on daycare costs and transportation, which in turn helps the environment with less carbon-related emissions. The aggregate of all these extra benefits actually increases worker productivity on a per-hour basis.
Over the 20th century, work hours declined by almost half, mostly because of rising wages brought about by a renewed economic growth, with a supporting role from trade unions and collective bargaining, and progressive legislation. The workweek, in most of the industrialized world, dropped steadily, to about forty hours after World War II. The decline has continued at a faster pace in Europe: for example, France adopted a 35-hour workweek in 2000, but North America has not. In 1995, China adopted a 40-hour week, eliminating half-day work on Saturdays. Working hours in industrializing economies like South Korea, though still much higher than the leading industrial countries, are also declining steadily.
Technology has also continued to improve worker productivity, permitting standards of living to rise as hours declined.[8] However, in the absence of declining work hours in goods-producing industries, there has been a shift in the nature of output in national economies. Economic growth in monetary terms tends to be concentrated in health care, education, government, criminal justice, corrections, and other activities that are regarded as necessary for society rather than those that contribute directly to the production of material goods.[citation needed]
