[quote=CA renter][quote=paramount]Oh and by the way, March Madness is coming up. Not basketball mind you, it’s that time of the year when teachers and others receive phony layoff notices.
Of course there’s always an issue, this year teachers in LA County don’t want to contribute more to their healthcare. Right now they don’t contribute anything and it costs taxpayers over 1 billion a year in LA County alone.
How many of you private sector workers get FREE healthcare?

It is NOT “free” healthcare. They negotiate for wages and benefits, and they take lower wages in exchange for healthcare benefits and pensions. It’s all part of their compensation package. None of it is free.[/quote]
