Question

do you believe that public employees should be able to employ collective bargaining for wage increases or should the ‘free market’ continue to dictate wages in the public sector? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Of course public sector employees should have collective bargaining. Why should police, teachers, fire fighters, etc. be second-class citizens. The public certainly needs the best employees possible!

Answer 2

how would this classify them as second-class citizens?

Answer 3

If workers in the private sector have the right to collective bargaining, then denying that right to public sector employees classifies them as second class citizens.
