“I’m being accused of being a beleeding heart liberal
Actually I’ve little interest in the way some Americans see only two alternatives – liberal or republican. Where I’m from liberal is in the middle between labor and conservative – there’s more than one way!
last year they had an article in the post on the highest paid workers at the Port Authority.
they had gardeners making 200K with overtime.
the state run mental health institutions have similar bloat, they have nurses making more than the doctors.
psychiatric nurses pulling in 200k. When asked about it, the administrators said that they were in a hiring freeze and so they had to pay double/triple time for overtime work with employed health care workers.
if you know the right people you can get into one of these jobs.
funny, I never heard any college recruiters talking about going to work for the Port Authority or the Stage Manager’s union or the Plumber’s union. They apparently get paid well and have benefits with retirement pensions.
that may be part of the problem today, everyone in our society is programmed to think they are all supposed to be rocket scientists.

LOL. I was about to say Biffy, you have your Damons and Willis’s wrong. Or is it Demons and Willies?
this state is bloated left and right,

“$500,000 for a master carpenter?”
$500,000 for a master bater. Totally worth it.
“common good of the workplace”
Kens- if everyone cared as much about that it would be a totally different (and far better) world.
BTW what in the world does “working men and women” even mean? I work (when not wasting time like now), I’m a man, – do I qualify?
agreed, benson! Of course, they’re asleep on the union side too- which seems to mean they are in bed together. Or at least switching together. 🙂
