Not all of them...probably not most of them. Getting the job doesn't require exceptionality in a particular field for menial jobs, and the unions will protect your ass throughout your career. Paying public service union dues is not considered to be kissing ass. What it actually is, is protection money paid to those who own politicians who will guarantee benefits that are not sustainable.
"Protection money". That is a very accurate description in this case.
