A Tale of Two Unions
California has two very active unions -- the Nurses and the Prison
Guards -- each uses a different form of politics and a different form
of "caring." The nurses have done heroic work in forcing Governor
Arnold to allow for sufficient staffing of hospitals. They have won
significant political victories.
The prison guards have been very successful in calling for more
staffing as well -- often by forcing the state to lock up more people.
Those who resist passing such laws are charged as soft on crime. They
have also been very successful in blackmailing the state into giving
them more money. Here they go again.
