Does your comment also include the police union(s)?

Yes, absolutely. No government employees should ever have collective bargaining rights. If they want better wages and working conditions then they can advocate for those through the political process, the same as any other citizen.

In your suggestion any other citizen has collective bargaining at their disposal, do they not?

Collective bargaining rights shouldn’t even be a separate thing. They’re just a natural consequence of the fact that free speech is protected and slavery is illegal. The idea of an illegal strike is bizarre.

Yes absolutely. They're a perfect example of the unique issues w/ collective bargaining for public services.
