Bannissons les syndicats de la fonction publique

In today’s Le Journal de Montreal, Gilles Proulx writes an amazingly refreshing editorial. Unfortunately, I can not seem to find any online version which is sad because it is probably the best thing that I have read all day in print. Anyway, I will quote just a brief passage that gets the main point across:

C’est une GROSSE erreur que Jean Lesage a commise de laisser entrer les syndicats dans l’État. C’est ainsi que les privilégiés naturels du système on hérité d’une arme pour faire chanter les élus et suer le peuple!

In a nutshell, he is insisting that public servants should not be permitted to form unions. He makes the observation that they abuse their privileges, they take sick-days when they are not sick, they blackmail the politicians and the screw the public. His conclusion is that if they want to be part of a union, then they should do so in the private sector.

I could not agree with M. Proulx any more. It is a delight to hear such a clear-headed evaluation and judgement of the parasitic public servant class.
