Where I work is mostly non-Union. We just got notice of changes in our retirement; where we will have to pay more for our health insurance and our spouses beginning in 2013. I am paying 60% more in health insurance then I did back in 2006. Yet- these Unions riot when they have to start chipping in for their health insurance and pensions. Makes me sick...
Are the taxpayers paying for this out of town trip, hotel stay? If so, if I were Governor, I would be docking their pay for hotel stay and their daily pay for not showing up to work.
Then I would start firing a public employee every day until they return to work.
I wonder what keeps our Congress from doing this very thing? Could you imagine the Dems walking out of Congress and refusing to vote?
These are really bad times coming down the road....
My wife just received a notice from the State of Alaska yesterday that because of the loss of Federal Funding programs that were available to pay for the health insurance for our 17 year old son that was placed in foster care due to autism they just sent us a bill for $5,000 due by March 1st.
And then our wages will be garnished to continue paying for it until he is 18. We don’t have that kind of money, especially when I am a seasonal worker.
