When the members of the public fear public safety officials and the police, the balance of power is out of whack and leaning dramatically in the wrong direction. Paid by the taxpayers, police and firefighters are public servants. But as with too many public employees, the union-first mentality seems to dominate the purpose instead of the work — perhaps it’s because there is not enough of the work to go around to the expanding base of public safety employees, particularly when the unions are demanding more in pay, for fewer workers. The City of Vallejo is an example of what happens with too few, very highly paid public safety workers.

Ca public workers threaten Ca businesses
This is unbelievable. A winery owner wrote a letter complaining about the wages of public sector workers (firemen, medics). Consequently his business was threatened in numerous ways. It is simply not right when people who were originally hired to help others at moderate wages have now taken over to rule the taxpayers with an iron fist. Witness the abominable behavior of the teachers in New Jersey, posting vile things online about the governor because he HAS to cut funding. There is no choice! There is no more money! Do they not understand this? Read the story here:
