Personally, I'm sending an email as .... wait ... I type. Please do the same. <br /><br />Good stuff.jimspicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16316014985662331998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-20854836634879781442012-01-10T15:33:53.874-06:002012-01-10T15:33:53.874-06:00So, they're getting DOUBLE TIME as overtime pa...So, they're getting DOUBLE TIME as overtime pay for many of their hours, unlike the 'average Joe.'<br /><br />The report states: "some collective bargaining contracts were negotiated prior to passage of FLSA. Some of the provisions in these contracts artificially added hours in pay status to FLSA<br />calculations which increase premium overtime costs."<br /><br />So, those provisions should have been changed with the arrival of FLSA - time to get on with it.<br /><br /><br />The Governor pointed out these 'abuses' that were possible through collective bargaining agreements when this 'budget battle' began, but the media as a whole ignored that story.<br /><br />Did you read some of the examples and view the charges on overtime paid? Some of the Sr. officers received OVERTIME pay that was GREATER THAN (almost twice!) their annual salaries! <br /><br />Yep, that's an abuse!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
