-1 week sick leave with pay since they only work half the year.
-No union! A government job AND a union---WTF?
-Contracts (1-3 years each) using Supply vs. Demand. Over supply of people willing to do a job ALWAYS lowers the pay scale except in government jobs.
-Punch a time clock! No more salaries and THEN america can see the hours actually worked.



---I'm self employed in construction, I also drive part time as a chauffeur and I am a landlord... Whining to me about take home work is a laughable offense.
OH, by the way, I gross about 30% more than teachers even though I work a full year, not half. I also pay more in taxes (self employment tax) and nobodies paying my retirement or get group insurance.... I'm not mad at my situation, but instead mad at how easy the government throws away the taxes I pay! Once again, government jobs are in desparate need of being regulated like the private sector.
