No Unions For County, Post Falls

Item: Post Falls, Kootenai County decidedly union-free/Brian Walker & Alecia Warren, Press

More Info: Kootenai County has never looked at using a union, as far as Commissioner Todd Tondee knows. "Why should we?" Tondee said. "Everything's working OK." The county sets wages for its 792 employees through a system developed by a consultant years ago, Tondee said, which is based on the pay scales of similar entities.

Question: Would you prefer that your city and/or county permit public employee unions? Or not?
