I remember reading years ago that FDR thought that public service employee unions should not be allowed to engage in collective bargaining. He, I think, has been prescient given degree of influence these unions have on the political process to the detriment of students and taxpayers.

Look what happened with Covid.

FDR had a firm stance on bargaining - you can't bargain with yourself and serve the public.

JFK is the one that gave the country its federal employees union.
