What about other government workers, such as military, teachers, social workers, etc?

I’ve always associated the thin blue line flag with the Nazi flag. I think it will end up historically in the same category. Yes federal workers should have unions. I think the question should be why are police unions so much more powerful

That union is always on the wrong side of support for other unions. ACAB forever.

Cops serve and protect capital, not you. There is never going to be a situation where law enforcement doesn't become authoritarian and only protect those in power. Law enforcements has routinely shown they are class traitors and have no qualms supporting corporations in crushing unions. Cops should not exist, let alone have unions, which will only ever be used to protect themselves from facing consequences and taking accountability. All WORKERS should be unionized. Cops are not workers, they are class traitors who wouldn't think twice about arresting you for trying to use your union to get better working conditions. 40% of cops are abusers, and they only solve 2% of crime. Studies show rehabilition and restorative justice as well as providing people with their basic needs is more effective at reducing crime and protecting people. Abolish the police, abolish prisons, ACAB
