A raise negotiated by Fresno County supervisors for its largest union was rejected after voting came to a close Thursday afternoon.

The vote was an “overwhelming no,” said Riley Talford, a senior shop steward for SEIU’s supervisory employees. He did not disclose the final results.

He said the vote showed that the county has to do “a better job and show respect to the employees who are serving this county.”

Isn't everyone getting 5% raises these days?  /s

LOL


FReepers, we are on track to meet this FReepathon goal in just short of 100 days.  I do not wish to telegraph the Left that Free Republic means no more to us than this.  We should do better.  Lets end this please.  LINK

I don't know how Jim and FR does it.

You couldn't pay me to live in CA. I'd rather live on one of those islands near the North Pole.

[exit82]

OK, how about a 5% reduction?

No?

Well, then there is just no pleasing you!!!

One word. Privatise.

[spodefly]

How about firing them all and hiring non-union workers that actually might do a good job?

I worked for a public employee union in CA for many years, and believe me, they DO NOT care about anyone but themselves. If the middle class taxpayers of CA only understood how their retirements line up to these “public servants” they wouldn’t vote for Democrats.

Greedy. tasbard lieberals....they don’t deserve ANY raise. Faker takers.

whose six units represent about 4,500 of the county’s 7,100 employees

public employee unions are a conflict of interest and a threat to transparent government.

Just wait until the rest of those millions come across the border with their Obamacare green cards in hand. They might wish for the day they had settled for 5 percent.

Mostly illeterate Latinos in the Fresno area who are SEIU members. They refuse to understand that if you kill the golden goose there are no more goodies and golden eggs.

illeterate

Does that mean they can't spell?

He said the vote showed that the county has to do “a better job and show respect to the employees who are serving this county.”

I'd like to see all of the employees currently "serving" the county quit their jobs and allow others a chance to "serve" the county for a while.

The best way to serve the county is to fire anyone who strikes and hire *illegal aliens* to take their places.

That would shut up the SEIU for good.

we nurses here in the great white north may get a 1% raise....”may”.....
