This may be a good sign. The Governor is targeting agencies and programs that are controlled by organizations that force workers to pay bribes in order to get a paycheck.
""It's a continuing jihad against organized labor," said Steve Maviglio, a Sacramento-based Democratic strategist,.”The governor thinks public employee unions are Enemy No. 1."
Among the plans in the governor's budget: privatize prisons, which would strip members from the influential guards union; curtail seniority protections for teachers, a key union-won protection; and reduce the number of sick, disabled and elderly Californians cared for through the state's In-Home Supportive Services program -- almost all union jobs -- while cutting what their caregivers are paid.
Schwarzenegger also wants to permanently lower state workforce salaries by 5% without returning to the bargaining table with public-sector unions. And he would require state workers to chip 5% more into their retirement plans."
When the San Fran Chronicle stopped using union only printing presses, they used only quality presses, worked by quality folks who did not pay bribes to work. In the first year, the Chronicle saved $25million.
Imagine how much the State could save if we only hired quality people?
Should the poor and middle class of California be forced to pay for union monopolies over government?
What do you think?
