So tell me what happens when the Executive Branch looks at the situation and determines the follwoing:

(i) The workers are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
(ii) the agreement is currently expired (null and void). Y’all are out of work and the citizens will no longer benefit from your services.
(iii) Paychecks will not be generated until a proper contract is negotiated and in place
(iv) non-contract employees continue to get paid. (AKA: the legislators)

IOW, the paymaster goes on strike according to the contract. Now what?

I know people here who really believes that the government always does a better job at everything than the private sector does because :

1) They can spend the ‘profit’ on the service ( )
2) have little or no budget constraints relative to business, so they can pay them more with better benefits, and hire more.

Speaking of non-profits, look at United Way, or better name is
United Waste

lemme guess....”cut” the workforce by encouraging early retirements?
