America is a representative democracy, a republic, and this angers union leadership, members and their supporters. The 2010 election was not to their liking so they ignore it. They don't care that the will of the people is for federal and state governments to stop over spending and illegally taking more power. The will of the people is not the will of the fat cat unions so the will of the people be damned.
When the will of the people cannot be ignored they threaten, bully, get violent and offer death as a negotiation.
They are cheap thugs.
