senoritafishT. is our union president and has been spending all kinds of time in Sacramento trying to negotiate some kind of emergency measure so, hopefully, we can get paid our full salary come July 1. Apparently the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association sued the State government and won, saying that if the state budget isn't signed, state workers can only be paid minimum wage. The budget is not likely to be signed immediately since it's an election year and the legislature has some bones to pick with Governor Gray. Even when the economy is positive, the budget is rarely signed on time.
Does this group just assume that state employees aren't taxpayers too? Because of this group, California has the worst school system in the country. Now we get this. Even from the grave, Howard Jarvis is screwing us.
I suppose minimum wage is better than IOUs, which has happened in the past
AND if that weren't bad enough, the state employee payroll database was hacked, so we all have a chance of getting our identities stolen. Not that I'm too worried about that; anyone trying to bilk credit off my name and SSN will definitely be getting a sow's ear instead of a silk purse.
