This doesn't have as much to do with cell phones as it does with Jerry Brown's need to cut something. In other words I think he knows a lot of positions need cell phones but I think he also knows most people have personal phones they'll use if their work one is taken away. Since most people won't quit their job over the loss of a cell phone. So it's an easy cut to make (albeit an unfair one in many ways)
Sadly many of the union contracts specify employees be provided a cell phone so he's only going to get so far with this.
- gaius 16y agoRead the article - he's not proposing to do away with state-issued phones altogether.
- TomOfTTB 16y agoRead my comment - I specifically said "Sadly many of the union contracts specify employees be provided a cell phone so he's only going to get so far with this." The order is simply too broad for him to have taken time to evaluate each position and decide who does and does not need a cell phone. Given that I will bet you all the money I have the cell phones he's taking away are the non-union employees and the ones who are getting to keep them are union employees.
