Bunch of dinosaurs and why are they sporting OBA colors?
Thank You, unions, without you, Employees would be in a serious Jam. The Government has not kept up with livable wages. And I am not talking luxury like large TVs or steak or seafood. I am talking about bare necessities. Thank goodness for the Eliza Doolittle Society! Even for Government Workers who are also not properly valued. I have the felling for many years that Gov’t assumes the money it pays it’s employees is the all sovereign standard , and that all employees are just fine caring for their needs and families. No! Every raise as few as they have been have been too small and immediately afterwards been taken fully away by health insurance hikes or other deductions. It has been an evil circle going round and round. Morale in the Government ranks is at an ALL-TIME LOW. Workers are NOT Valued and properly trained and payed. Even the streets as crummy as they are, are in better shape than Gov’t workers with Families. Family life is not properly sustainable. The inflation year after year has not been covered by pay increases. Please, Please , Please give us help. Long live The ELIZA DOOLITTLE SOCIETY!
