Questions for supporters and opponents of Public Employee Unions

Questions for the Governor's proposing to strip Unions of any power.  Do you remember why Unions were formed in the first place?  Does the phrase "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" seem pertinent?  Or are government bureaucrats perfect people incapable of being selfish, inconsiderate, petty, petulant, conniving or tyrannical?

Questions for supporters of the Unions.  What do you say to the fact that the average public employee makes more money than the average private sector worker, has better working conditions and job security and receives way more benefits?

Surely there is room for some compromise that protects workers but also keeps public employee compensation on a par with the private sector that pays their wages.
