For the first time in our great nation’s history, government union membership has surpassed that of the private sector. This is totally unacceptable and unsustainable.  The private sector pays the freight and must be much larger than the public sector.  Public unions lobby for tax raises to fund their largess.

That is killing us in private sector unions.   But, I’m afraid that our private sector union leaders also support massive, intrusive government.
