Kevin Cullen of the Boston Globe talks with a retiring firefighter. The discussion turns to public employee unions and to asking correct questions (emphasis added):
“People’s retirement plans took a big hit on the stock market. Then everybody looked at the public unions and said, ‘Hey, why I should be paying for their pensions and benefits when mine are being cut?’
“I think that’s the wrong question. The right question is, why are companies in the private sector so bent on profits that they don’t want to take care of their workers?
The relevant answer is “Bonuses, Stock Options, and Country Club Memberships.”
