Government workers shut down their countries when provoked.

Yes if we dare ask our employees to work when they are not happy and they are in a union, they may very well pretend to work which will then cost us an inconvenience , or in cases like New York can cost people their lives .    If a nurse neglects you in a hospital it can be deadly and you would want to have a family member there to ensure you get the life saving care you need but what if the crews keeping the roads clear just don't want to and you need that road ?    What if they or the nurse or an ambulance driver don't care if you live or die , what if you assume they will , are we going to live in a slovenly country where you have to account for the fact that you will have to have contingency plans for workers that you depend on that just don't (FEEL Like it ) ?    And what does that do to a city that won't make their employees do their job when enough people leave it so that their tax base dwindles ?    BTW  i   have been and  i am  presently am a  Government employee .
