Michael Barone in dailyherald:
How did it come to pass that public employee unions, which scarcely existed 60 years ago, have come to run public schools and myriad state and local government agencies?
That didn't stop New York City Mayor Robert Wagner, eager to develop a political base independent of patronage-hungry Democratic machines, from authorizing the unionization of city employees in 1958. Nor did it prevent Wisconsin Gov. Gaylord Nelson from doing so for a state government known for pioneering nonpartisan civil service, nor President John F. Kennedy from doing so in 1962 for federal employees.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service And government doesn't have to make profits. Taxes can be raised to fund current benefits, and distant-future pension promises don't have to meet Employee Retirement Income Security Act standards.
The results are bad government. Howard begins by focusing on police unions, citing the Minneapolis officer convicted of killing George Floyd. He shows how teacher unions have produced decades of disappointing results and how they unnecessarily closed many schools for two years -- with dire effects on underprivileged children.
All of which, Howard argues, is unconstitutional. Article II of the Constitution, he notes, says,"The executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America." But can a president"take care that the laws be faithfully executed" without the power to fire an incompetent employee?"Preserving the management authority of officials is essential to our constitutional structure," he writes.
