You’ll have to argue the numbers with Cal Trans because I got the numbers from their website.

You are out of your mind. Try $2000 per month. Flagging traffic is a dangerous job and requires a lot of training.

Brand new, untrained CalTran “Stop sign holder” trainee gets paid $6,000 a month. Well, that kills the previous stupid post that claimed the unions are good for the rest of us.

Private prisons, private traffic control devices. Government systems are not for profit. They are just the opposite. When government agencies are being controlled by private companies, how can those who are charged with enforcing agencies who are responsibility for protecting our food, drugs, safe work environments, and a fair justice system, and all the other agencies in place to protect our right expected to function. Those of you who think Government should operate like a for profit company or by for profit companies are wrong. Private public infiltration of our agencies are running out the few remaining public civil servants who are committed to the American way and we will continue to pay the price as a society unless a change takes place. If a state worker whether in be in education or in government agencies or in the state university systems see a wrong and points it out in a grievance or as a whistleblower they are now immediately retaliated against and the Unions are there to see that doesn’t happen.

A ruling that seriously diminishes their ability to BUY the favorable votes of our Elected Officials with Union-dues-sourced camapign contributions is a GIANT step forward for the rights of Taxpayers everywhere.

And this, my son, is how bus drivers end up making $150,000 a year…..

LOL…so sad, but true. That is also how seesaw got her massive defined benefit pension for an unskilled muni job…..

Kennedy is the question mark. Will he play ball with Roberts et al??? I think he will. I am pretty sure the conservative block look at public unions as a threat to the very survival of the country, and even more so to the Republican party.

5-4 striking the law down IMO. Roberts will write the opinion, Scalia will write his own concurring opinion with added commentary unique to his philosophy, Sotomayor will write the dissenting opinion.
