That's a conundrum eh? Representation for some but not those people?

I am saying that such a long time frame to terminate bad employees is not conducive to running an effective operation.

So remove the representation to fix it? Sounds so, two tier-ish? You plebians just work and be happy to have a job yo. We can get teachers and law enforcement and fire fighters anywhere, just put up a reader board and here they come. Yee haw.
You all should not be so greedy, this is more of a calling and not a job. You should do this for LOVE!

How is it two tiered?

I feel you are not engaging with my point, which is that the current system makes it enormously difficult to terminate employees, even in the case of clear incompetence or misconduct.

If your idea is that we should just negotiate a better deal with the unions so it’s easier to terminate people, well, good luck.

Isn't capitalism naturally exploitive of workers since they take a piece of profit and profit is everything. Would not unregulated capitalism seek the most productive employees at the cheapest price, except of course, for the people at the top paid to maximize stock values? And in a capitalist system that also pays lobbyists and political bribes to elect only pro corporation people, how can we expect the public to protect itself as workers and consumers. What prevents corporations from selling shit at the highest price and paying slave wages. Unions? Don't they have to play the same game, maneuver within the system to charge the highest dues they can without being voted out? Won't they naturally protect dues payers up to the point they can but not so much as to kill the goose laying the golden egg.

In my opinion everything is an accommodation to the system, all attempts to balance things governed by the rules of the system, everything always a compromise of competing needs.

As long as work is required to survive people will be slaves to jobs. Live will be miserable for millions of people who are unsuited or unable to adjust to such misery. The country is full of fearful people who hate their working lives and have no options to survive without them except for a life of crime or welfare poverty if they can get on the dole.

Work hard and study so you can get a good paying job as somebody's puppet. Only a revolution in conscious awareness can fix this. The AI robots are coming and any decent future will depend on whether they are publicly owned.

I'll find more research but here's one article that shows how police unions block basically block most of the reform that could positively change our policing

How the push and pull of unions is hindering police reform around the country

The power dynamic with some police unions has shifted. Some leaders have tried to lead change, others have made concessions and some are fighting it.
