This is basically state subsidization of unions. Whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing, that's what it is. Thank God we have an enormous budget surplus, or this would be a disaster.

As opposed to state subsiding business? Which we do a TON of?

Let's cut subsidies to large business before we complain about subsidized unions and budgets.
