And pension.
- Bud 9y agoWhatever. Also don't forget, then, the cost of living in the Bay Area (astronomical) and the difficulties of policing in Oakland (formidable). Pension is something we should all expect. Not resent.
- CalChris 9y agoPension is something we should all expect at 50? Really?
- Bud 9y agoIf you want to go work a few decades as an Oakland cop? Yes. That's my opinion. You are welcome to yours, sir.
- rahimnathwani 9y agoMany people have difficult jobs in Oakland. Not all of them have lobbying power or unions to extract higher than market pay.
- Bud 9y agoThere is no universal concept of "market pay" which applies across occupations; only within a given occupation. The Oakland police are the only police available to examine in this particular "market"; there is therefore no basis for an argument about "market pay" in this context.
