And I can start on another rant about how cities should completely phase out pensions and put them on the same 401K type plans as everyone else.
It will force more honesty in the negotiation process instead of letting politicians and unions kick the can down the road.
- cudgy 4y agoThey’ll simply demand higher wages to compare to private sector rates. This is not a static situation.
- scarface74 4y agoI have no problem with them asking for higher wages. At least that means todays money will have to pay for today’s wages and since most cities and states have to have a balanced budget they can’t put debt obligations on tomorrows taxpayers But then again what are policemen and firemen going to do? How do there skills help them in the private industry?
- listenallyall 4y agoThey become chief of security, or safety, at factories, office towers, stadiums, casinos, malls, etc
- scarface74 4y agoThere are a lot more police than there are those positions. Those places aren’t paying salaries competitive with public sector salaries - malls are dying - offices are seeing more vacancies - casinos are only in a couple of states
- rqtwteye 4y agoAlso let’s take away pensions and healthcare from Congress politicians so they can enjoy the “ freedom” they are preaching for the rest of us. Also take away military pensions and VA.
- scarface74 4y agoI’m all for taking away military pensions too. But for a different reason. They can leave anytime and still get some benefits.
