Should collective bargaining be ban for Government employees.?
Currently about 6 percent of non- government workers belong to unions. Over 35 percent of government employees belong to unions. But since government employees are essentially a monopoly (if DMV workers go on strike you can't go to a different DMV) why should they be allowed to collective bargain and strike.

Your reasoning is reversed on this issue. While you might be able to make a case that the DMV is similar to a monopoly in some ways, the employees of a monopoly are not a monopoly. Their employer is.
Employees are individual humans, and labor unions are associations of those employees.

Yes. Everyone knows this. And it's only a matter of time until it happens, whether in practice or by cutting their wages and benefits to the point that they reflect how life is lived in the real world.
