Meg Whitman: “The State Employees Unions - Starving California”
The reason California is bankrupt and it is bankrupt is because the state workers unions run our state. They bankroll the Democrats to keep them in power but in return, the Dems have to raise taxes or find other means to pay for the state union's guaranteed pensions, 100% tax-payer funded medical care, as well as pay increases and money to hire more state workers which are still being hired and added to an already grossly over populated and inefficient union work force at a time when we in the private sector are being laid off and worse.
The powerful state unions, such as the State Employees Services Union, the teachers union, the prison guard union and others are used to making a phone call to their politicians in Sacramento and getting what they demand. They are ruthless and care nothing about California's sad state or the average taxpayer for that matter. They will continue to syphon the states life blood at a rabid rate and they are in position to shut down the state by way of strikes, work stoppages etc., after all, their workers run the state…
