In completely unrelated news..

"Roughly 9,000 California companies moved their headquarters or diverted projects to out-of-state locations in the last seven years, and Dallas-Fort Worth has been a prime beneficiary of the Golden State’s “hostile” business environment.

Los Angeles led the Top 15 California counties with the highest number of disinvestment events"

Los Angeles, and the entire state of California, circling the plughole. Such a beautiful state.....such tragic politics.

Cesar Chavez day off with pay. Do the libs know that Cesar Chavez was violently anti illegal immigrant? set his brother up with a goon squad to beat the hell out of all illegals they could find.

Illegal aliens were strike breakers, happily working for next to nothing and regular picket lines didn’t even slow them down.

Won’t be long now before LA makes Detroit look like a kiddie park.

I predict bond underwriters will flock to LA for the immediate financing of this burden. Increases in taxes and fees to follow shortly under the banner of ‘unexpected conditions and burdensome debt’.

Has ANYONE in the private workplace gotten any same-work pay increase over the past 10 years amounting to 1% per year? This is “crony unionism” where the unions campaign for politicians in exchange for sweet heart contracts.

Pattern of Detroit where the costs are future loaded to make the workers happy NOW!

...give them a 10% raise over three years.

Just like the upcoming raise for Social Security recipients and military retirees.

Oh, wait...

It also provides another full week of vacation, plus the Chavez day, so that adds another 2% raise to the cost of the contract. Actually more, since that vacation is at the higher rate.

L. A. County Employee Union: 10.0%

Social Security Retirees: 00.0%

Well, in fairness, SS Retirees did get that whopping 1.7% in 2015.

And we all know, there is no inflation... /s
