Not only can public employees in unions build up sick and vacation days, when they get ready to retire they can cash them in, and work tons of overtime to bump up their last year of work's wage.

Their retirement will be based on that bloated last year wage! It often will double their retirement, all at the ripe old age of 50-55.

Their are teachers in Michigan that retire at 55 with $80, 000.00 a year plus paid insurance for life.

They do have to put in grueling 6 1/2 hr days 180 days a year though.

I forgot to mention, those bloated pentions are tax free too.
