CA, NY and NJ have been dragged down by public employee unions plus other liberal polocies.
I read just the other day that Orlando plans on laying off some firefighters. As part of their evidence that the city is acting stupidly, the union representing the firefighters said that the city called in those firefighters who will be laid off in the coming months during their off-duty time which meant they get oovertime pay automatically.
Not only that, they get a MINIMUM OF 4 HOURS OF PAY whether they come in for 3hrs and 55mins or just 5mins.
Ridiculous.
