Detroit has filed bankruptcy. Aren't unions to blame?

Detroit is really not a city as much as it is a massive union shop. And this is probably what eventually happens when a union runs a city.

Wait! Before you give me any shit, I have nothing against workers who choose to use their value as a bargaining chip. If you are not replaceable to the business, and you are not being paid enough, you should withhold your skills until you are paid enough.

But unions get lump together the worthless and the valuable. And their strikes are regulated, not by the labor marketplace, but by government rules.

Is this the first domino to fall and a harbinger for what happens to other union cities?

Do you live in one of those places? Are you worried? Should you sell your house now before it is too late?

Did the unions overplay their hand?
