What vitriol, ignorance and hate. The idea that every one else pays a civil servant's salary is ludicrous.

We are all taxpayers, including the civil servants. If the city knew that they wanted make changes to the contracts that expired in December of 2008, they could have done it ages ago. Why let workers work in good faith and then suddenly decide to change every thing.

The recession did not start in June 2009 it began in 2008 and was even more emphasised by the market crash in September 2008 - 9 months before the workers went on strike. As recently as 2009 metro housing workers received a reasonable contract. It is clear to see what has really happened here. Miller and company wanted to shaft the workers in these two locals and are using the tough economic times that existed nine months as the excuse to do so.

Shame on him for using these workers as the scapegoats for his mismanagement and hokus pokus economics. Shame on you ignoramuses for focusing on hate and not seeing the real picture.
