City Council Voted Down Proposed Union Contract 5-4

My dad is in the same boat.

Lived in the city his whole life. Still takes care of and repairs his house in the shitty 6 Mile/Van Dyke neighborhood.

Worked 30 years for the city and never saw him take a sick day, until his second heart attack forced him to retire last year.

It won't satisfy some people until he fucking drops all the way dead I guess.

Your Dad sounds like a trooper. Hope things work out for him. My uncle was a bus mechanic when he retired. He said things were getting too crazy for him, even though he would have liked to continue working. Now he's scared _hitless that his pension will be cut, and he has modest savings at best. It's a shame that these big companies and municipalities are reneging on their promises, while the City and County big wigs continue to rape taxpayers with their exhorbant pension plans. Something has to be done.
