Girard Miller is the Public Money columnist for GOVERNING and a senior strategist at the PFM Group.  In a recent article Miller stated, “So the compensation system is clearly dysfunctional here. We have massive labor supply and no demand, yet public employee compensation and benefits remain “sticky downward” as the great economist John Maynard Keynes observed.”

Miller is proposing that the arbitration methods have led to a strong downward decline in the ability to offer compensation packages that make sense in the long term.    As an example Miller points out what has happened in California:

“If you look back at how California got itself into its current pension mess, a lot of it came from the “me-too” bargaining strategies of public safety unions that worked their way up into irrevocable pension formulas, granting them lifetime income at 3 percent of salary times years of service once they reach age 50.”

In the end Miller is looking for drastic changes in the arbitration rules simply because as a nation we will be looking at dire circumstances unless these changes happen.  Miller finalized his thoughts with, “Something has to change in the states’ arbitration laws, or we will find ourselves becoming more and more like Greece and other European states that have dug themselves into inescapable financial holes.”

The Arbitration Game

Another big Union Company creating problems for the Non Union competitor.We as Americans all have a choice, where we choose to work and who we choose to work for. With big union corruption and harrasment threating and intimidating the small business owners and their workers where do we draw the line. Do the big unions have more rights than the small business owners ? I am beginning to think so. Why do they have more rights and why are they allowed to do things we would never do as Americans or small business owners. I thought it was a FREE country and we as American have a FREE CHOICE !!!!! Do We ?
