Restricted Vote for public employees

In the end the only way you can grant public employees collective bargaining rights is if you restrict their voting rights


I suspect that was the reasoning behind the creation of the District of Columbia, which has no representation in Congress.

They wanted to restrict the influence of the workers who wield such great bureaucratic power.
