Bessie-Social+Justice

For this project I choose to illustrate a very recent and prominent issue in our state. I plan to illustrate a side of the debate on breaking up the unions and removing their benefits. Our nation is currently facing a huge economic deficit. In our state we are in a lot of debt and spending needs to be cut somewhere. Unfortunately our unions are being targeted. They are being made victim of a problem that is not their fault. Teachers, Firefighters, Policeman, and other pubic service employees are being made the enemy of the state. Unions have been around long before this budget crisis has occurred and they in no way should be the ones who have to suffer from this.
