IL unions get offered 14.5% raise, go on strike

Imagine if your employer offered you (1) a 14.5% pay raise, and (2) to pay for 90% of the cost of yoru health insurance. Imagine being offered that, and choosing to reject it, and then to go on strike.

That's what the public sector unions did in one Illinois county.

These unions have come a long way sice the coal mining days, when unions actually served a defensible purpose.

What selfless public servents.
