Case in point:
"San Francisco’s six public courses, in fact, lose more than $1 million annually because of cumbersome union maintenance contracts. While one solution may be to outsource the operation of the courses to private companies, a more ominous possibility is that some courses will need to be shut down."

If a union had been involved they would have demanded these things and threatened strike to get them.

I'm part of a union right now and all I can say it they haven't done shiet for me. Actually the only thing they've done so far is lose our pension money. Apparently they invested in in the wrong stocks and lost 30% of our pension. They just revised our contract recently and now we are paying $3 more a month for union dues. 
What I don't understand is why the hell would I want to pay more money to a union that lost my money in the first place? This is whack. Also I make less than a journeyman and yet I still have to pay the same dues. I don't see how that is fair.
