County pays all retirement contributions in new Mahoning CSB deal
I'm just wondering why this is the headline for this article...
NO raise in 4 1/2 years...fact
Healthcare goes up every year. fact
Protection in the field = a pen and notepad (not allowed to even carry mase). = fact...
Dangerous job, basically we are a cop, counselor, probation officer, parole officer, etc without the luxury of a gun...fact..
no dental insurance = fact (but if you're on welfare your kids will get their teeth checked at school yearly).. fact...
Most of us pay into deferred comp or some other means of retirement because nothing is guarenteed...fact..
so again, at the ridiculous wages posted in this article, not to mention most of the workers at CSB have at least a bachelor's degree why is anyone whining about getting something contributed towards their retirement?? really??? c'mon man....
oh yeah, let's not forget haven't had a raise in 4 1/2 years, but yet the cost of healthcare has steadily gone up. I swear, the upper 1% will not be happy until everyone makes $8-10 per hour and is on welfare.
The attack on public workers has got to stop at some point. It's the rich and greedy that just want to pick off the middle class one by one. The steel mills, the auto industry, now public workers. I am proud to be a public worker. I am also very middle class (at best) and have to hold down a side job waiting on tables a day or two per week in addition to my 40 hour public job to make sure my kids have a bright future. I just recently narrowly missed by five minutes being in the middle of a shooting across from Taft Elementary last week. I have had knives pulled on me in my so-called "privledged position." Most public employees are educated and hard working who did what we were told growing up in order to get a job that will be stable. Here's a novel idea. If people want to save money and help the state of the union and all, how about we crack down on all the abled bodied people collecting social security and disability? How about the fact that I recently went to the doctor for a broken finger and the details on my insurance stated I was billed $567 for a doctor looking at it for all of 45 seconds? What about all the people living off of student loans knowing good and well a big portion will never pay them back (hey I actually pay mine wow)! You know, my next door neighbor works in the private sector, but previously had a stint in the public sector. To this day, she says she never worked her behind off as much as she did in her days with the public sector. Because that's what we do. And good look paying some smuck with no education, morals, and work ethic to put up with what we do on a daily basis for much less than we are already paid (which isn't all that some of you seem to think it is).
