On the other hand you have State senators taking bribes, per diems for reporting to a job ( show me a person working in Boston who commutes in the private sector aside form ceo's and gets per diems), pension rules that are a joke and you guys complain about the little guys. It's not the toll takers fault that your pal Deval is raising tolls and taxes. Didn't he promise you lower property taxes, no new taxes, and no higher tolls when he was running??? Why not bitch about the cushy jobs he has been giving to pals, jobs that have not been needed in years?
So the correct answer to my question about when the subject of Unions was brought up is "never".

Almost any Union work I have seen is shoddy and significantly more expensive than non-union. And I have worked with dozens of different Unions throughout the country.

That's what happens when a whole organization is run with scheduled raises and seniority as opposed to merit-based pay. Doesn't matter if you suck at your job, as long as you do the absolute minimum required, the employer can't fire you.
