I'd love to see glenn, or anyone like him, do without services from the State for a period of time.
This editorial is dependent on the lack of information that the general public has about the labor agreement between the State and its workers. Imagine a company that broke five unions at the Tacoma News Tribune to be the one to step up in support of organized labor of any kind.
State employees took hits in 2010 on medical care - 150% increases in copays and new "deductibles" for "day surgery" (did you know an injection that takes 5 minutes is a day surgery?)
Regardless of what the "national average" is, these are benefits that were negotiated in good faith, in lieu of salaries, thus there is no reason for the labor unit to let them go, regardless of what a union busting newspaper group says.
Of course, maybe the thousands of State workers could adjust their cost of living by cutting expenses - starting with newspaper subscriptions.
