This will upset some of our Forum members but I believe it's the union contracts that a minority of the population enjoys and a majority of the population pays.
By choice, I work my a$$ off 60+ hours a week, contribute 25% of my earnings to my retirement that is match by a 3% employer contribution, typical 401K. Notice I said I contribute I have responsibility for my retirement, where does a state employee get off expecting me to pay for 100% of their retirement while working in a career they choose.
I view many of the government benefit packages as High Class Welfare. Gov Scott has asked them to contribute 3% of their wage to cover a portion of their retirement cost and help reduce the states budget and they protest and threated a strike. What he should have done was give them a 3% match on their contribution in a 401K and make them responsible for their future like most of us are.
Everyone is for cost cutting unless it affects them.
