That is because your private sector union has a mutual interest in keeping your company afloat. There is no such interest in public sector unions. They have no incentive to keep the quality of their labor high because their jobs will always be funded. Even FDR was strongly against public sector unions because of this.

I am a public union but I understand your point. We do have an interest in fiscal responsibility as our funds are from property taxes and any year could flip the budget on its head (see 2020). That being said there always seems to be more and more money in the federal budget for the teachers unions to milk out.

I mean I know that to be false where I live because I see the budget where I am. Your property taxes are typically based off the value of your home, so if your home loses value the municipality has less money than it did the year prior.
