I worked with a CA public employee union for years, and you are correct; nothing good for taxpayers comes from dealing with those thugs.

“Quotes work better than parenthesis for expressing sarcasm, fyi...”

Thought, being this wasn’t the DU, it would be understood by all. Guess I was wrong.

I’m sure that they are desperately trying to come up with a ‘legal’ way of making all of the state’s residents join just ‘one’ one-size-fits-all pension plan.

"Shared sacrifice" aka confiscate.

Quotes are as best I know, universally understood as sarcasm. ( )'s aren't.

In any case, nice to meet you on here and next time you put something in ()'s I'll interpret as sarcasm.

This is just more evidence that allowing public sector employees to unionize was not only a bad idea, but a fatal one.
