Even the heroes of the left, meaning FDR did not want public employee unions. It is not the same as a private industry union where the workers are fighting for rights and wages against a private company or owner. Public employees are fighting against the tax paying public.
When a public employee union gives money to a candidate and campaigns for those people they are in effect getting a kick back when their candidate is elected. It is a corrupt system. If a public employee has civil service protection they do not need unions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
