ballot proposition to decrease state worker’s pay?

[Anonymous]

I agree with DWCAP fully. 1. How do I get the job where public is paying in any aspect hirer than the private sector. 2. Bring “public managment” figures into reality and make them pay into there pensions. They are making the big bucks (still nowhere near the private sector) pension benefits should be for the front line guys who do the work and do not make a king’s ransom. You would have to sell it to the top dogs, but might be easier to do if the majority understand it might save their pension. I think a guy that sweeps your streets for 30,000 a year for 30 years deserves 3% or 2% at 60, since most are not going to get SS.

For what it’s worth, public employees in my profession and experience level make about 40% more than their private sector counterparts in raw salary; I’m not even counting the extra benefits like retirement pay. I’d vote for something along the lines of public salary=private salary*frac, where frac could be negotiated by profession but ideally around 0.8 to account for the retirement perks.[/quote]

What do you do and how do I get to do it too?[/quote]

I was referring to civil engineering (water resources). At my level private pay is around 75-80k, while at LADWP you rarely see engineers making less than six figures. It’s very difficult to get a job there if you already have experience; most are hired as college grads and just never leave.
