In MI, State employees have seen 10% on a regular basis since '04. That includes 'actual' paycuts with increased employee out of pocket healthcare, working for FREE, and increased employee benefit costs coverage. Yet, for some reason no one pays attention until the 'general' public has to do the same. Even though State employees haven't had a 'raise' in years to even, keep up with a 3% cost of living inflation while State Contractors/Consultants start off at a higher base pay and have better raises with similar benefits.
Newspaper business? Just like GM you should have seen the writing on the wall! The internet killed that business years ago but it took awhile for them to see it. So long and welcome to the 'future'.
Stop Cryin' we've ALL had to take some sort of hit. Some worse then others....
(Fortunately, I've personally only taken a %19 decrease in pay)
