STRIKE! Update...
Ok, here a few comments on the
The bad:
Spoiled gov/city workers that operate at a snails pace but get their benefits and scheduled raises right on time. What's the problem now? I'd do anything to get a decent job around here. You would'nt see me striking anything.
There's a lot of unemployed people in the county which may be interested in collecting 8 hours pay for menial tasks.
Go ahead and go on strike, see if I care. Losers. And don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Now, if you did some meaningful work once in awhile, I might actually feel sorry for you, but you don't, so I don't feel sorry for you.
My question is, other than seeing the picket lines, will anybody notice they're on strike?
Poor, poor county workers, having to put some of their hard earned dough into their health care plans, just like the rest of us. WAKE UP CALIFORNIA, TIME TO TRIM THE FAT! WE ARE BROKE AND THE UNIONS DON'T CARE! As employees of the taxpayers, if you walk, YOUR FIRED! Good riddance.
If we could just let them hang in the wind out there we would all find out just how much we don't need them, government service is a self perpetuating welfare state for the unemployable. They in reality do little or nothing that benefits the public, this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of them.
The Good:
I am one of these lazy, incompetent workers who do menial tasks (dohmixer idiot). Wait until you need me because your important, big time job ends. When you need food stamps, or Medi-Cal, or can't make the mortgage payment on your expensive, important, status inducing home. Please come to my office where this $14.93 lazy worker is. You know, the one whose been there for 7 years without a raise and has bills to pay. I can't wait to live down to your expectations, then I'll watch you go hungry, get sick and loose your home & guess what? I could care less & hope people with your attitude suffer for, say, 7 years.
If you actually think that these people want to strike then you are out of your minds. These people are fighting for their livelihoods and those of their families. I am also sorry that you are so uninformed about the jobs that these good people do. They are not lazy people collecting paychecks, these are hard working people who provide valuable services to the citizens of Sacramento County. Perhaps you should imagine what you would do faced with the same situation. What would you do if essentially you were offered a decrease in your pay, just sit there and suck it up. I think not. Or if you had a friend or family member that was in this situation would you feel the same way? Go have your morning coffee and wake up to the realities of the situation before you make uninformed comments.
Yeah. I can tell you from experience that I do a lot of hardcore work for the clients in Sacramento County. More so for the Mexican/Spanish community. I worry more about them right then myself. I can't tell you how many battered women come into my office pregnant, homeless with no place to go. No one thinks about them. All the public cares about is their trash. Bitches. How dare anyone judge me without even knowing me and what I do. Mind you, I have different views about the strike, but in the end I support my fellow co-workers and their objectives. I however can't help but wonder what the office's are gonna look like when the strikes over. The work they walked out from will be sitting there waiting for them when they get back. I blame the Board of Supervisors. They forced the hand of the union workers. Again, I hope this strike ends soon, and with a resolution that can be agreed upon by all.
Something to think about...

While I have had my share of complaints about city and state government employees, I do understand the lack of funds and what it is like to work with no raise or dramatic raise at all. It doesn't make for the best work environment. Hopefully there will be positive resolution on the strike.
