Union: L.A. Cut Corners With Utility Wages
Uh, huh. According to the Union guy, they should have been doing the work at night. So when he cut the same damn wire in THE DARK, it wouldn't be as bad. Right, because having no electricity in the evening is no problem at all.
The DWP employees are in negotiations for a new contract. Here are the figures from the article.
The City Council has yet to approve a proposal that would increase utility workers' pay between 16.25 percent and 30 percent over five years. D'Arcy said the union will hold a strike vote in the coming weeks.
So, tell me guys, when was the last time you got a 16.5% to 30% raise over 5 years. Let me just say that I never ever have in my entire working career.
I'm a big Union supporter. But this is bullshit.

i'm so pissed off about dwp, i can't even tell you t! i've been working without a contract for over a year. and would you like to know what the offer on the table is (was)? 4% over the next two years, with nothing retro. i say was, because the offer's off the table now.
i keep hearing "dwp's a money making division, dwp's a money making division." they can suck it.
see, i see this as a problem with our union's been weakened. we've got no one really sticking up for us, which sucks.
i know, that 30% thing makes me queasy. can you imagine, getting a third again of your salary in 6 years? that's amazing to me.
