A major part of left wing ideology is the idea that the problem with private services is the profit motive. Government is the solution because the profit motive is eliminated.
It seems curious to me that left wingers also support public sector unions. Any explanation for this? I can somewhat understand private sector unions as protection from the predations of greedy industrialists/corporatists, but that problem is, supposedly, solved by moving services to the government. So how do liberals justify taking these two positions that seem to directly contradict each other?
