In California government works make way more then they deserve for the most part. There are some sectors in government that should get paid more. But not once in my entire life have I ever met a cop that was hurting for money. Here in LA County Sheriffs Dept. it is very common for the last 3 or 5 years of cops career is spent doing a lot of overtime because those last years determine his pension benefits. Some cops retire making more then their base pay when they were working. So for every one cop that gets retires and one gets hired onto the force to replace him, we are paying the same amount of money for two but only getting one on the streets.
Unions are all about entitlement not about whats fiscally responsible. Look at the mess unions created with the Airlines, grocery stores and police.
