Willie Brown: State of the Unions
Posted on January 5, 2010 | 12 CommentsWillie Brown is calling for an "honest dialogue" on California's public employee unions. Brown, the former San Francisco mayor and longtime Speaker of the California Assembly, has pointed out the obvious - that our civil servants now "[run] the show" in California. They have "job security for life" and "pushed by our friends in labor, gradually expanded pay and benefits to private-sector levels while keeping the job protections and layering on incredibly generous retirement packages that pay ex-workers almost as much as current workers". Standing against them, says Brown, is "politically unpopular and potentially even career suicide for most officeholders".
