--SNIP-- And union leaders are continuing to advocate safety improvements for workers in the Department of Children and Families (DCF) across the state, who say they work in extremely dangerous conditions, and who had threatened to stay home this week if things did not improve. Last month, armed guards were removed from offices throughout New Jersey

I don’t generally have a lot of use for Unions, especially in the public sector, but advocating for basic worker safety can be a legitimate function.

I agree, generally, with you; however, these are government workers who have the power to ruin families and lives.

Another nail in Gov. Christie’s presidential plans.

The guy is a wimp and ineffective.

[Dr. Sivana]

I agree, generally, with you; however, these are government workers who have the power to ruin families and lives.

Of course, but proposing to reduce their powers or the scope thereof is a different question from whether they should be safe at work.
