Your tax dollars at work
Feb. 6th, 2012 02:57 pmIf you do not have a Bachelor degree, taking a federal job will raise your total compensation by a third.
If you hold a Doctorate, that will lose you a fifth.

This appears to prove that the trade union power (at least vis-a-vis the public) is too high.
In fact, it is not clear to me why public employees are entitled to unions at all: unions exist to screw back the employer on behalf of unskilled workers, so why do we, the taxpayers, let them screw us?
