as a bus driver and public servant i under stand the concerens and needs our community i see it every day,but please under stand us we are not stricking for a raise, we are striking to keep what we worked hard to for the past 20 years.most of us still work pay check to pay check .and have bills and famlies to take care of .dont take away what we have earnd.
cisco why are you held harmless when every other city worker and outside agency doesn't get such protections. why are you special?
I thought that was the whole point of unions, Bullseye, to protect the working man.
