Perhaps the deal will bring Kalifornia that much closer to bankruptcy.
I think they are already bankrupt if you count the pension liability. It should be criminal what these politicians do with their fiduciary responsibilities. Problem is that they will have lived a rich full life and died long before the debt bomb explodes.
SEIU is nothing but a bunch of toilet cleaners, gang bangers, thugs, and criminals.
Know them well, had to deal with them for years.
They remind me a lot of Black Lives Matter.
I presume the same affiliation, what with the connections to Obama. All radical Marxist infiltrators.
They’re smart, they know the sanctuary city money and other funds to the sucking teet of California from the federal government is gone after January 20th
It should be law that individual taxpayers could attend the bargaining table.
Where are Conservative judges who sue for individual taxpayer rights?

Isn’t an “Unfunded Liability” the very definition of Involuntary Servitude?

An imported HLM, so to speak; like their kin in fast-food companies, many Hispanics are realizing that while they may work here they will find it hard to prosper.

Kalifornia digs hole deeper.
“Professional Development”-—SEIU is a union of JANITORS!!!
An abundance of their members are illegals.
How much do Tax payers have to absorb the costs?

Wow. I'll bet that was a knock-down, drag-out negotiation, eh?
Union Rep: Now, look here, Governor Brown. We demand a 25% raise in wages, 50% increase in pensions and a 30 hour work week!
Gov. Brown: Oh, yeah? Well, you'll get a 30% increase in wages, a 100% increase in pensions and 20 hour work week. And like it!
Union Rep.: Grrrrrr. We know when we've met our match. Okay. We'll take it. But we'll be back.
Gov. Brown: Expect more of the same. There's plenty more where that came from.
