This "union president" is still living in the dream world of the past. She may not be considering me, a taxpayer, but she should because I am joining the others who have left or are strongly considering leaving for these reasons. No one said the workers are anything but good decent people (except kenneth naylor et al), but most are pretty good people. But they are overcompensated in toto, meaning we cannot afford the pay, benefits, sick leave, OPEB, and pensions array the unions have won over the years. That means that its time to do a walmart roll-back. Or else we risk a slow spiral and they'll end up there anyway. We need a balanced plan that is affordable to the taxpayers. We RI have the 6th highest tax burden and the second highest unemployment rate. Think about that, and lets get this back in balance FOR the good municipal employees and their families, not against them.
