[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 810620, member: 4932"] There are many, many studies that demonstrate that public service unions have traditionally traded take home pay for benefits and security. But even using total compensation (pay+benefits) and adjusting for education level, MOST public service employees make LESS than their brethren in the private sector. Note that Gov. Walker exempted the police and fire unions from his edict. Since they supported him in the election, AND tend to make more money and have higher pensions (and retire earlier) than teachers and garbage collectors, the agenda here is clear: bust the unions. Fortunately, the police and firefighters can see past the B.S., and know that they will be next. So they are supporting the protesters in Madison. Also, WISCONSIN IS ONE OF ONLY 4 STATES WITH FULLY FUNDED PENSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So they are NOT contributing to the budget shortfall. AND the state employee unions have agreed to the financial terms of Gov. Walker; they simply want to retain their unions. [/QUOTE]
