Yupper, let's just keep chipping away at the workers to organize. We have two states, Virginia and North Carolina, that do not allow public safety employees collective bargining. That gives the mayor / city manager / city council the ability to thrash the cops, firefighters and EMTs to their hearts content. We are willing to risk all to save lives but we need the tools to do the job. Only with collective bargining can we demand and receive those lifesaving tools.
