“....The decision would not affect unions in the private sector.”

No news for us.

Correct. If you're a tax-payer, you don't want public-sector unions anyway, that's just organized, institutionalized looting of the public coffers. There's a reason our military is the best in the world, and most of the rest of the government can't find it's posterior with both hands.

Kind of like employee run complaines. Sounds good on paper but I can’t think of any that were successful in the long run. They can’t make the tough decisions.

Right ... because anti-union governors haven’t ever been caught saying they’re going to go after public unions first to “divide” and conquer the rest of labor ...

Completely untrue. There are lots of employee-owned businesses in existence and most are very successful. It's a growing business model. There's even research suggesting that these types of businesses function even better than "regular" companies, since the employees have a vested interest in success.

Please list a large company where this has worked over the long term. I can think of UPS, but even they got to the point where they had to go public to continue growing.

Note I said large. Publix fits this, maybe on other mentioned. But I don’t know that the others would be termed large cap companies.
