They would pay $50 million in property tax while canceling the $1billion in free services so that’s not a great trade off. Better solutions are break them up and unionize

So, unionize and make us pay ridiculous union dues? I just don’t see the benefit of unions in the healthcare sector. But, I’m open to listening to your ideas about it.

Unionized workers almost always make more even after paying union dues. Some unions provide a lot of training so dues are high but that’s not going to be an issue for upmc employees
