Re: “SLO County employees threaten labor strike as pay lags: 'Patience has worn out'”
Good article but as an on call sitter for a Social Worker, it grossly understates their on call and out of town trips on cases which demands outside assistance at all hours and weekends for their children. Even spouses can not be expected to give up their work scedule for these important jobs. So there is extra expense for dependable child care for employees to perform these county jobs which may include care, meals, transportation to school or events. I would also question if the benefits such as medical are truly that good or do employees have to pay a portion of their pay toward it or high deductibles. I would say there is more to this picture.
