“What have unions done to cripple the Union states financially?” you ask.

“How much time do you have?” we might reply. Government unions don’t just negotiate for contracts that increase pay and benefits for the workers. They also negotiate for union work rules in employment contracts that allowing “featherbedding,” which is requiring that more workers be hired than are really needed for the job, or paying workers for more time than is actually worked or is necessary. These are hidden costs that unions negotiate for in employment contracts for their government employee members.

For example, police in the northern New Jersey town of Englewood can earn roughly $3,000 extra a year in so-called “muster pay” by showing up for work just fifteen minutes prior to their shift and changing into their uniforms. Is it really necessary to pay them for this time? When was the last time you got paid extra for showing up a bit early to work to get ready for your day?
