Hardly any federal, state, county, city or school employee ever loses his or her job. They're civil service. Their jobs are guaranteed, if not formally then practically. Meanwhile, non-government employees lose their jobs all over.
That used to be a grand bargain. Government workers were paid less but their jobs were secure and they got good fringe benefits. Non-government ones made more but their jobs were at risk and their fringes were not as good.
No more. Government workers now are unionized. Their pay is as good as or better than non-government workers. Government workers' jobs still are secure and their fringes are outstanding.
Where's the bargain?
