Public unions are my biggest issue. I also do not think there needs to be a teachers union. And a non Union hospital is a good thing as well but you can speak to that with a bit more accuracy than I can so I will let you weigh in directly.
I have no experience with unionized hospitals or healthcare workers.
I don't have a problem with public unions. I understand you don't like them because they are able to negotiated "ridiculous" deals which increase your tax burden. The fact you think union deals are ridiculous indicates that unions have more bargaining leverage when it comes to pay and benefits compared to individuals. You won't admit it because you don't realize the implication of your own opinion.
Let's take fast food industry as an example. I'm not aware fast food workers having unions so when it comes to accepting a job it is pretty much take it or leave it. I'm not aware of any incentive pay, either. From my perspective, most conservatives consider the poor pay and lack of benefits an incentive to get a better job. Basically, you want to treat federal employees like fast food workers except add in incentive pay. If you offer shitty pay and shitty benefits, what type of applicant will you attract? The type of unmotivated underachievers you're already complaining about, but probably worse.
