Freedom Foundation versus Unions Nationwide

[Jack Ryan]

How do we know this group is against public services and against state employees?

Here is it in their own words:

“It makes little sense to promote a pay raise for state employees who are satisfied enough with their jobs that 90% or more of them choose to remain employed by the state.”   
-- Amber Gunn, Freedom Foundation Staff  “Do State Employees Need a Raise?”

“Policy makers should delay automatic pay increases for state employees… This also shows that public sector employees are held accountable and don’t brazenly plunder the public purse.”  
-- Bob Williams, Freedom Foundation Founder, ALEC Budget Toolkit.

“Consumers, workers, and employers are all negatively affected by mandatory paid sick leave policies… Evidence indicates that requiring employers to provide paid sick leave benefits produces few appreciable benefits and even raises costs.”           
-- Maxford Nelsen, Freedom’Foundation Staff, July 2015 Spectator
