The police and the firefighters have unions.

John Starke

People take the five day work week for granted, like it was always there. Enjoy your weekends? Thank a Union. That's just one of many things that management is dying to take away from laborers in all services and industries.

Because their leadership is corrupt, and they don't represent the values of their members.

Will Mason

They are redundant. All they do is make a few people who pretend to care about the workers very rich. The only people it helps are the union officers.

Sarah Perry

They're demands and expectations typically are aimed to benefit one segment of a workforce.

Toasty

Unions have a very important place in history and should be proud of the *past* accomplishments. Attempting to bring up the past to justify poor performance and often unethical behavior should not be tolerated especially by union members.

The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......

We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.

They spent all of the money on the Left leaning group.

If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
