Most of us have been saying this for years. It only got worse when civil service/gov workers started getting paid 20% more rather than 20% less than their private sector counterparts.
There was a balance. Gov workers got paid less but had better benefits. Now they get paid more and still get better benefits.
“Now they get paid more and still get better benefits.”
Looted directly from the people getting paid less with worse benefits. This issue has destroyed NJ; since the teachers refused to budge and persisted in bankrupting the state, there has been a mass exodus of white English-speaking taxpayers from the state. They are being replaced by foreigners trafficked here to keep the classrooms full, but they contribute little to nothing...
Greece is NJ now; the masses of Syrians flooding the Balkans is the same as the fleeing New Jerseyans...
When the government battles public employee unions, taxpayers fund both sides.
It’s a terrible waste of taxpayer money.
Public employees and teachers should not be allowed to unionize. Both sectors have been ruined by union greed and protection of incompetent workers and teachers.
BRING BACK THE SPOILS SYSTEM!!!
