Help debunk this anti-public worker e-mail.
I received the following e-mail from a right leaning relative. I assume these kinds of e-mails are making the rounds. The following sounds like a fabrication to me. Please give me some specifics so I can fight back.
NO WONDER THESE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES CAN BE PROTESTING AND MISS DAYS OF WORK, LOOK AT THESE SALARIES!!!
Subject: FW: 2010 Teacher Actual Wages - Govt wages exposed
ATTACHED: This is the official excel DPI database of teachers wages by school district. Look up your own district !!!
The current budget repair bill would have them paying about 5.8% towards their own retirement....right now, we the taxpayer, pay 100% of their generous retirement, and most of us pay 100% of our own retirement too.
AVERAGE WAGE AND BENEFITS
(remember this is for about 185 DAYS OF WORK!)
TEACHERS:
Milwaukee $86,297
Elmbrook $91,065
Germantown $83,818
Hartland Arrowhead $90,285
(highest teacher was $122,952-lowest was $64,942)
Men. Falls $81,099

Carolyn Martin -Chancellor Mad- $437,000
Hector Deluca - Prof of Nutritional Science - $254,877 (really??)
(source:Madison.com -as the UW removed salaries from being posted online in 2007- why if they are so low?)
How about some other "public servant jobs"??? What do they make?
Madison Garbage men (2009) (salary only):
* Garbageman, Mr. Nelson earned $159,258 in 2009, including $109,892 in overtime and other pay.
* Garbageman, Greg Tatman, who earned $125,598

18 Drivers made more than $90,000
8 Drivers made more than $100,000. Top Driver made $117,000 (Source WTMJ)
(The average private bus driver makes $9-13 an hour (about 20,000 yr) with no pension, or healthcare).
AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO CONTINUE PAYING 100% OF THEIR GENEROUS RETIREMENT
THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN SCHOOLS AS THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY 5.8% OF IT THEMSELVES ....REALLY?
Please send to everyone you know....

1. Damn straight garbage men should make over 70 grand a year
That's dangerous and back breaking work, and there is exposure to dangerous waste, rats and disease.

Maybe 50 years ago ya ****in' moron! Nowadays much of it is automated and the union has made sure ya don't have to pick up any more than 50 lbs! If it weighs more than that, they can leave it right there on the curb!
Ya ever read all the rules a city has about how you can set your garbage out? Apparently not, because if ya did, you'd know if it ain't wrapped in plastic, or in a can, they won't touch it!

DUmmies don't need garbage desposal...they just toss it out the window of the BUICK while it's moving.

Makes sense to me. Ever drivin' thru these DemonRat enclaves? Looks like they don't need a landfill. The whole damn city looks like one!

Those are the same numbers I posted last week. Guess the DUmmies want to ignore it in the e-mails too. I always thought garbage men made less than $30k. I should find out what our guys make in Las Vegas.
Never mind, I believe our garbage men are private sector jobs. The company is Republic. BAD BAD WORD!!!!!111

Well yeah. The garbage man .... of course. I mean having to pay back all those student loans and stuff ....
:whatever:

Maybe not a lot of money, but they have a ball on the job!
