Howard argues that union controls have disempowered elected executives and should be unconstitutional. Sitting on both sides of the bargaining table has allowed public unions to turn the democratic hierarchy upside down. Elected officials answer to public employees. Basic tools of good government have been eliminated. There's no accountability, detailed union entitlements make government largely unmanageable and unaffordable, and public policies are driven by what is good for public employees, not what is good for the public. The solution, Howard argues, is not political but constitutional. America's republican form of government requires an executive branch that is empowered to implement public policies, not one shackled to union controls. Public employees have a fiduciary duty to serve the public and should not be allowed to organize politically to harm the public"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 167-197) 650 0 $a Government employee unions $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Collective labor agreements $x Government employees $z United States. 941 $a 1 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716042421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8583FEBC7E0411EE85718D4F22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
