Now that the axe is falling CSEA union officials are on the tube crying Nobody talked to us, we are willing to take pay cuts! Blah, Blah, Blah,
Union rules 2 highway employees in plow truck when only one is needed.
During the summer county employees are allowed to leave after only 7 hours of work, including 1 hour paid lunch, and still get paid for 8 hours. This rule dates back to the days BEFORE Air Conditioning!! Not all workers are bad, they should have spoke up, pointed out the bad apples along time ago so that NOW they would still have a job. I guess they did not what to rock the apple cart!
When I had a proposal about a decade ago to help the county save money, I was on Buffalo TV, newspaper and radio, all I heard from county employees was "It makes to much sense, it will never happen" !!! So a million dollar plus another $400,000 (which was county parks money notice how the parks have just been fixed up recently) was misspent.
I tried I wish others would have spoke up earlier.
