I have not praised anything. I have simply pointed out that the RTW states have advantages that the NRTW states dont. I think that Government workers are insulated from market forces because their company does not have to turn a profit or compete. When they do compete (like with private schools) they generally get their pretty little behinds kicked. Collective bargaining has a place. Public service has a place. Dont pretend that someone in Public Service needs to collective bargain. If they do they arent in it for the public service. And when government paymasters have to choose between angering the taxpayers or angering their source of, shall we say kickbacks, the taxpayer will lose every time.
