Merry Christmas from the Union

 

1. My feelings/opinions on ALL unions are well documented elsewhere on this site!

   Fire all the transit workers in NYC.  The’re overpaid and underworked.  Replace them with non-union employees who will appreciate the fact that they have a job at all.  In fact, if you get a welfare or food stamp check, EARN IT, go to work at the transit aurthority. 
   Contact HR @ portauthorityny.gov (not a real link, bone head). 

   Illegal trespassers will be given priority for the best jobs, simply because “It takes a village” and she needs a bigger village. 

   Go back to AK carpetbagger!

   NY outside of NYC think you suck --- Empty promises, just like hubby.

   Peace is cheap.  The cost of liberty is measured in blood.

3. I have a philosophical problem with Federal, State and Municipal employee’s having higher comparable salaries and benefits than the tax payers who pay for it.  Why should they have these “sun, moon and stars” benefit programs on our dime, when we in the “real world” would never receive in the private sector?

6. O.C.M.

   I’m not saying fire all these people.  But we, as taxpayers should not be paying premium wages to goverment employee’s.  There is no real way to dismiss an inefective goverment worker.  So why should they have a top shelf job they can’t be removed from.  Either moderate the level of pay (I know ALOT easier than it sounds, I don’t know maybe by averaging the income tax data on a similar private sector career, and paying based on that.???) Or remove the draconian employee termination procedure and hire only the best most competant workers for these positions.  Instead of making them “a get of life free card” for a bunch of I’m owed this morons.  I know it’s a little hard to see how we could get there, but when you read about this kind of stuff, it makes me angry.  Instead of fining the union the judge ought to make these guys try and hold down a private sector job for a year.  They don’t want to pay 1% of their health care coverage, try 100%.
