What Klein forgets is that public jobs like school bus driver shouldn't be full-time, unionized career positions. Such jobs should be part-time, supplementary employment. What do I mean? I mean the sort of job graduate students do in return for support, or moms do while their kids are at school.

Klein on Public Unions
Joe Klein writes for Time and normally he is too far to the left for my taste. Here he writes about public unions and does a surprisingly balanced job. No, he doesn't want to do away with public unions. However he does see they have engaged in excesses and abuses. You may want to give his article a look.
