AgreeThe government wage and benefit structure has been established for decadesOh yes it does.
Just because the private sector has chosen to pocket their record profits and screw their workers is no reason for the Government to match them in their abuse of their workforce
You bet there is.
If the poor bastard doing the same thing as you is making less...why the fuck should he pay taxes so you can make more.
Methinks you work for the fed....[shocked]
If workers are leaving the private sector to take government employment it puts pressure on the private sector to improve wages and benefits
If the private sector is suffering in a bad economy, you may have a point. But a private sector which is sitting on trillions of dollars while they pay their employees shit should not be pitied
We are not talking about the companies...we are talking about the employees. Government jobs should pay 5 to 10% less than the private sector.
And we should be encouraging the private sector to take their record profits and pay their employees 5-10% more than the government sector like they used to
Boot illegal workers who are pushing down wages and pushing up government expenditures.
