The point is that they pay a portion of their pay for their benefits (pensions contributions are mandated by the state). That is considered as part of their wages. The employees recognize that issue. The main point is when you add all this together, they are still under paid when compared to the private sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-67693509959021045902015-09-04T14:38:00.191-04:002015-09-04T14:38:00.191-04:00Just like the unhappy clerk in Kentucky, if you do...Just like the unhappy clerk in Kentucky, if you don't like your job, you are free to leave.

There really needs to be an adjustment of the pay scales. This blog does not exist to protect John Stoffa or attack John Brown, so you have a basic misunderstanding. Though I have high regard for Stoffa, this blog exists to tell the truth. If that pay study should have been implemented during his eight years in office, so be it. John himself would be the first to admit there are many things he wanted to do but could not. I think we have a basic obligation to do right by our workers. There is no reason why an educated employee with two decades of experience, and a person who performs an important role in the county, should have to work three jobs.

My post is designed for the anonymous cowards who attack people in the public sector simply bc they are in the public sector. There are some very negative people out there, and I wanted to counteract some of the usual garbage they post anonymously. They don't get my point, which is no surprise.
