way to go wisconsin

look at that another guy complaining about public jobs. If theya re so great like you say they are, why the hell didnt your dumb ass get up off your ass and go apply or take a test to get one of these jobs?  really why did you go take a low paying job in the publci sector?

also killer b you gotta stop trying to compare private sector jobs to public sector jobs, its like comparing apples to oranges.

sorry to have breal the news to you, but you working the service counter at burger king shouldnt be earning the same type of wages a cop earns. 2 entirely differnt jobs.

You know what some of the probelms with guys like you is?  you have all become so accustomed to having water when you turn on your tap, having your garbage picked up, having your strrets plowed, having a cop or firefighter respond to you when you pickup the phone and dial 911, that you have forgotten that there are actually people working those jobs and thats why all those things are able to work for you.

You all just forgot that its actually people providing you all these services in society to you.

Stevie, what is it you do for a living?

also thanks for that apology over in the nfl thread, i appreaciate it.

Its called signing a contract, thats why they cant get it back.

And my friends garbage collection in the city over was just a fluke.

Hey if you cant put 2 + 2 together to figure out what will happen when private owned companies take over public jobs, then i certainly aint gonna be able to convince you otherwise.  You will just have to wait until it hits your city, then you will feel what its like yourself.'

Private companies are in business for one reason, to make the very most money they can make and if you actually sat down and thought about what can happen if all kinds of private companies take over public jobs.

On top of that do you really want to turn over law enforecment in the country to a private company? Do you really want a private company to have taht kind of power?  Really sit down and think about that.

No wonder our countyry is so fucked up, its dopes like this guy who doesnt even know how to read or just doesnt understand what he reads.

His normal wage is 59,000 a year, he made 100,000 in overtime. Is the guy supposed to turn down the overtime?  Would you turn down the overtime?

Its pretty clear if this guy is making that much in overtime, they dont have enough bus drivers on the job.  Lets see pretty easy solution. Hire more drivers then the overtyime will go down or dont hire the drivers and just pay the overtime.  I mean do you want the drivers to work all the extra hours past their 40 hours for free? Is that what they should do.

Its amazing how stupid people are when reading stories like this.

Employees should be allowed to work all the overtime theya re asked to work, but that ovetime pay should never ever go towards their pensions. Workers pensions should always be based on base pay only and if the states would start doing that, there would be no pension shortfalls.

In closing, so what the guy made 159,000, he certainly didnt sit home and get sent a check, he had to work all those hours. And like i said if they dont want the guy making that much money, then hire more bus drivers, pretty easy fix.

"The union contract limits part-timers to 15 percent of the number full-time drivers, and part-timers can only drive morning and afternoon school routes. Those rules create opportunities for overtime and other special pay for full-time workers.

The city negotiated more flexibility for using part timers in 2002-03, but a state audit last year recommended Metro seek even more flexibility and noted that some pay premiums, such as those for evening and Sunday shifts, are uncommon in the industry."
