The same guys who moan the loudest are the very same guys who are breaking the City. And this is happening to every city around, not just West Palm Beach. The arguments—a pay freeze is unfair because” we go to work in a bulletproof vest and get shot at,” while the firefighters object to working 4 hours longer per week.
While the City of West Palm Beach will generate approximately $25 million less in revenue, the Police and Fire Unions are using their muscle not to give an inch. No one forced them to become police officers or firemen, did they? Their pay rate is high and the benefits are unheard of but neither is good enough even in a recession.
It’s always about “me.”
