Issues Unique To Pennsylvania Public Safety Employers And Unions 

There are basic distinctions between profit-generating entities in the private sector and governmental entities funded by taxpayer dollars, including differences in the right to collectively bargain for private sector employees and Pennsylvania public sector employees.  There are further differences if the public entities negotiating are engaged in public safety—some less favorable, and others which other employee groups would love to have.
