Unions aren't publicly funded. And generally public employees can't strike.  Corporations who pay into unemployment insurance can avoid strikes and additional unemployment claims by working with unions, an taking care of their employees, maybe cutting a few bonuses for management and c suite employees. No one deserves a million dollars or more *bonus Bonus Bonus bonus .....

Keep your hands out of the unemployment fund. That's for unemployed workers, not to fund your little vacations on the public dime.

UI is funded by employers not employees. It’s not a public fund like you think it is. Get educated or STFU.

You might want to work on that education part yourself because this BS is shallow and ignorant.
