My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer.

It is only fair to expect public employees like me and others in the public sector to pay something close to what our neighbors and our fellow citizens do in the private sector.

When the private does well, there's revenue for the public sector.

The 'private sector' of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and the 'public sector' is, in fact, the coercive sector.

You can't have public health without working with the public sector. You can't have public education without working with the public sector in education.

Public sector employees are the eyes and ears on the ground for the communities they serve.
