Unions, local governments split on bankruptcy bill - Sacramento Politics - California Politics | Sacramento Bee: "What started as a municipal bankruptcy in the city of Vallejo has morphed into an all-out fight between California's local governments and unions over the sanctity of labor contracts vs. the autonomy of cities and counties.
Next battle zone: the floor of the state Assembly, where legislation requiring local governments to get state approval to file for bankruptcy protection is headed for a vote later this week."

Unions: pay us
Cities: we can't--we are going bankrupt
Unions: no, you aren't
Cities: OK--we will cease to exist (see below)

The right to petition government at work in the context of labor management negotiations. If government insists the sky is blue, the unions can just as vehemently insist it is green.
