In return, he&#8217;s threatened by union operatives who say they&#8217;ll refuse to fight a fire at his home or place of business. The union militants&#8217; reaction is all the more thuggish in light of the original letter to the editor, which is about as mild as political criticism gets, putting the blame squarely on the politicians:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\tNapa Valley winery owner Dario Sattui of V. Sattui Winery wrote a letter to the Editor of the St. Helena Star, venting about the benefits and  pensions that firefighters receive. In his April 9 letter, Sattui wrote, \u201c<i>I thought I was doing well in the wine business. Had I had any real brains I would have become a firefighter. What a racket they have.\u00a0While I respect the work they do and the inherent dangers, they are greatly overpaid, work only two days a week (a third of which they sleep) and get to retire at 50 years old at 90 percent of their pay after working 30 years.\u00a0I don\u2019t blame the firefighters. Good for them for getting as much as they can. The blame goes to the politicians and the government administrators. What do they care? It isn\u2019t their money.\u201d<\/i>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nThe skyrocketing costs of public services are an inevitable consequence of public sector unionization, <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/tax-day-consider-big-labors-cut-04152110\">which relentlessly expands government and drives up taxes<\/a>. Union operatives&#8217; threat to ignore a fire at the winery owner&#8217;s home also highlights the dangers of <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/right-work-podcast-beware-police-and-firefigh-3152010\">the Police and Firefighters Monopoly Bargaining Bill<\/a>, which would leave state and local public safety employees at the mercy of Big Labor organizing drives. Once Big Labor bosses are firmly in control of public safety organizations, they&#8217;ll have no qualms about leveraging their influence over firefighters and police departments to threaten anyone who dares to question their monopoly bargaining powers.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nWith the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrtwc.org\/facts-issues\/police-fire-monopoly-bargaining-act\/\">Police and Firefighters Monopoly Bargaining Bill<\/a> looming on the horizon, here&#8217;s a portent of things to come <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calwatchdog.com\/2010\/04\/19\/dont-dis-the-public-safety-unions\/\">from the <i>Cal Watchdog<\/i> blog<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\tNorth Bay firefighters launched a boycott of a Napa Valley winery this weekend after its owner criticized their wages and benefits in a letter published in the St. Helena Star.
