Just because you're in bad financial shape doesn't mean you don't have a government to operate. The deal looked to be a decrease in pay for healthcare offset somewhat by an incremental pay increase over the next 3 years. For many or most it's likely a net pay cut.
40% of the union members earn less than 30,000/yr.
This union represents those that work in the jail, nursing home, county health system, sheriff office etc…not exactly a lot of high paying jobs…and yet they show up day to day and get it done.
For this, you're outraged because you read a misleading FOX News story.
