New York state's $16 billion budget shortfall may force 9,000 layoffs in the wake of failed negotiations with union workers, the governor said.Can the mayor of NYC be the first?

So I guess now, we won’t see 5 guys standing around watching 1 guy work.
It’ll be 4 guys watching 1 guy operate the shovel.

New York Gov. David Paterson said Tuesday that layoffs would begin in July but the announcement may have been a signal to the unions that it was time to respond to the state's call for negotiations,... Doesn't the governor see that the unions are negotiation challenged?

I guess we will have to wash our own windshields now at the traffic lights.

That’ll just about do it if each of those employees makes $1.78 million a year.

Sounds like a good start. Hope this catches on in the other states. Now if the Fed. Gov. would do the same. I know, but I can dream, can’t I?

I don’t understand why employees “in the university system” are somehow exempt from this purge.
That has to be one area that has just a particularly huge amount of waste.

Yep - that word “negotiate” isn’t in the union’s dictionary.

Paterson must not be planning to run again .. bad enough to offend the Kennedys, but the NY public employees ? ha!

Here is how I would do it.
1) All accrued sick time is gone. You get 5 sick days. Use them or lose them.
2) All accrued vacation is gone. You get 3 weeks vacation. Use it or lose it.
3) The last year you work, your pension is based on straight time.
Start there. Anyone who doesn’t like it is invited to go find work elsewhere.

“That has to be one area that has just a particularly huge amount of waste.”
I agree and recommend that you read “The Fall of The Ivory Tower” by George Roche, former president of Hillsdale College.
