Without collective bargaining rights, public sector workers can be fired or laid off unjustly and on a whim by any elected bureaucrat with the inclination to do as they please.

I can be fired or laid off without a moments notice, and for no reason (at-will employment). That's the way it is for those of us in the "real world". I don't see why union employees should have it any differently.

I have still to hear a rational argument that says teachers should be stripped of most of their collective bargaining rights while other public sector workers have their rights protected. Fine, strip all public sector workers of their bargaining "rights". I'd be fine with that.
