Having been a public servant without a union (we had the Clerk of Courts Group, which had all the bargaining power of a soggy cucumber sandwich), and having been royally screwed because of it (crappy wages, increasing amounts of work, dangerous workplaces with a lack of security, tape recording cases being dumped on us without any kind of consultation), I was overjoyed when we finally said "enough is enough" and joined the Federal public servants union. We promptly got cost of living increases and representation in the enterprise bargaining agreements that meant we had actual security and you know, things like vacation time.
