This is traditionally what happens with unions (and no wonder it makes no sense to form a union). The unions begin to price themselves out of the market which results in a) layoffs or b) unprofitability which will ultimately result in layoffs...making the unions self-destructive at best. Now, the government doesn't have to worry about profitability, which means public debt is at stake.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
