Why do they need to negotiate. The majority of the professional private sector is not unionize and don't want to be, They want pay for performance and the best rise the quickest. Under a union everyone is equal ... everyone gets the same increase, they bid on jobs, seniority is the important factor rather than performance.

What keeps the the "best" quality people in the private sector without negotiating anything is simply performance. Typically the company is more concerned if they do not treat their employees right they will go work for someone else.

It is balanced and why a union is not needed.

The question that MM put on the table is ... why do state and fed workers feel they need a union to negotiate for them ... if they are not treated right and they are that good ... they can leave and go work for someone that will give them what they deserve. Bottomline is they can't and don't deserve it ... so they need the union to fight to keep their salaries moving up and protect their jobs. That is sad.
