Z, If the government gives them all of it, once again, I ain't begrudging someone a $4,000 raise. But that's not how negotiations happen, and asking for 6.6% will likely end up at, say, 4%. But if they were to ask for 4%, they might end up with 2%. That's just simple business! No need to remind me how negotiations work. The point is that you are just fine with government giving into all of the BART union demands, because you wouldn't "begrudge someone a $4,000 raise." Most of the state doesn't get that much of a raise, so why should government give BART more than what most of the state gets? Because BART is that special? The answer is something that you would never admit, because you will continue to bring up conspiracy theories and unnamed "unfair advantages of management." Left-wing governments are at the mercy of the unions. And that's the unholy alliance that will cost us all in the end, because unions are nothing more than special interest groups and have long since shed the mantle of the "guardian of worker rights."
