Why did FDR warn us about the dangers of public sector unions?

Because even FDR knew PUBLIC unions had no place in government.

As is typical with right wing talking points from places like the Heritage Foundation, Mr. Sherk has taken a single snippet of a quote out of context to suggest that FDR was against public employee unions. In fact, all FDR was against was public employees striking, which is a far different question than the issue of whether public employees should have the right to negotiate and bargain collectively over their wages, benefits, and working conditions. The snippet from FDR that Mr. Sherk quotes is from a letter that also includes the following paragraph: "The desire of Government employees for fair and adequate pay, reasonable hours of work, safe and suitable working conditions, development of opportunities for advancement, facilities for fair and impartial consideration and review of grievances, and other objectives of a proper employee relations policy, is basically no different from that of employees in private industry.

Organization on their part to present their views on such matters is both natural and logical, but meticulous attention should be paid to the special relationships and obligations of public servants to the public itself and to the Government.

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.
