Unions often bargain for benefits for retirees, such as enhanced pension and insurance. There have also been periods where veterans were discriminated against in hiring, such as the Vietnam vets. One could also argue the preference hiring of vets is to compensate for those who lose out time from the competitive work force to serve the government. There is similar recompense for mothers who are provided family leave and given their jobs back. Affirmative action is just an entitlement to someone, regarless of whether they were discriminated against on a personal basis. There also should be some timetable for removal of such preferences when the cause of deficiences is caused by the ineptitude of the local governments and neighborhoods in handling education, crime, and drug abuse, rather than discrimination per se.
