[quote=pri_dk][quote]No offense, but why do so many people continue with the lies about public sector workers not taking a hit?[/quote]

Nobody said they aren’t “taking a hit.” We saying that they are offering only a token, insignificant amount.

Token, insignificant amount? Really? In addition to the mandatory furloughs which equate to a 4-7% pay cut, they’ve also increased their pension contributions by up to 5% of pay. So a 10% cut in take home pay is token? You can bitch all you want that too many government employees get way too much money. But the vast majority are paid fairly for their work. Average California civil servant makes around $65K a year. 10% cut from that is just a token? Really?
