What the Heck is Going on in Pennsylvania?

Judas Priest.  Gary Cruse informs me that Pennsylvania toll collectors, frickin unionized toll collectors, reject a contract which would pay them 21 bucks per hour, unreal, plus all kinds of other perks which amount to nothing more than highway robbery in broad daylight, with a crowd of witnesses, who do nothing, and who actually are probably wishing that they were getting a piece of the action. 

Then, after reading Gary’s post, Ally, at Who Moved My Truth, provides some additional commentary on PA state workers, in a post titled “Enemies of the State."

These people actually aren’t enemies of the state, they’re parasites sucking their livelihood from the pockets of those who actually work for a living.  There is no symbiosis involved.

  1. Unfortunately, that is the attitude of many unionized workers.  I myself gave attitude to a supervisor who was treating me as though I was incoherent - after all, what is he going to do?  Fire me?

    For those who are not part of union, you must work hard, frequently get lousy benefits, may or may not get off on holidays, and retirement may be only a figment of your imagination.  That is not to say that all union workers are lazy (or state workers, as was the topic of my post), but certainly there are many out there who take advantage of the system, rather than be thankful for it and work hard to express their gratitude.
