Overtime often makes up for salary shortcomings in union contracts

I’m talking about public sector employees getting paid less than private sector employees. I don’t see how overtime would make up for that.

As sometimes do way better benefits, for a fair deal in the end anyway.

Sure. Which is basically what i said: most public jobs sacrifice salary for job security, pensions, and other benefits.

And now we’re trying to screw them out of those.


But I sure do agree with you on campaign finance reform.

Good. Unfortunately, Citizen’s United is going to be hard, hard, hard thing to fight back against.
