Brown and union

EDITOR: It has been reported that the bosses of the public sector unions are holding up the budget by pressurizing the Democrats to resist any reductions of pay, pensions and benefits presently enjoyed by their members. These same union leaders are major contributors to Jerry Brown's campaign. Yet he says that if he is elected governor he will reduce public sector workers' benefits. He just has to be joking.
