Question

How would you respond to this comment given focused on unions? what thoughts do you have?

The differences between private and public unions are their key purpose. Private employees are at will and can be fired for any reason. Federal law gives employees the right to join unions to negotiate better working conditions and wages. Public employees are hired to perform public service such as police officers, government employees and teachers. They can't be fired without a cause. The rights of public employees are dictated by the government agencies. Private employees have more rights but their job security is an issue. Public sector employees have job security while their rights are dictated by the government. I think that the major distinction is in the right to strike. Private unions can strike while public sector such as police officers are forbidden from doing so. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
