UNION CITY — Every full-time Union City firefighter earned more than $100,000 last year and the Fire Department accounted for nearly half of all city employees earning six figures, according to city data.
We are talking about CALIFORNIA firefighters and the absurd retirement package they were given by a desperate Governor. |
you said 'typical'. that is not typical. 'typical' firefighters usually 'wash out' prior to earning a pension. typical firefighters that do retire earn no where near that money.
of course there is a correlation between a city/state going down the tubes and poorly negotiated contracts with civil servants. I'm just saying that the gross generalization that the typical firefighters live high on the hog and retire with a fat pension isn't true.
