Union Whine

I come from a union household. I was a union steward for the Communication Workers of America, yet I am sick of hearing the whining from the unions, esp those serving public employees. For years they had their way as tax revenues were able to keep up with their wage and benefit demands, now however with tax revenues down, the money is drying up. But the unions don't want to pay more for their healthcare or their retirement. Wah wah wah. Private sector employees have been historically paying more for years. Get over it, budget better and plan on paying more for some of your benefits. Remember, our taxes as well as your own pay your wages, and when tax moneys go down, your income can't go up. In many cases, it can't stay the same. Sucks, but its true.
