RE: “Cerritos and Union Negotiations Stalemated” (4-22)

-As a long time resident and business owner in Cerritos, I love this city and its workers, businesses and residents. The city employees work hard, just like the employees of all the other fine businesses in our City. But times are tough right now and employees of the city should NOT be exempt from making sacrifices that everyone else in the private sector is having to make until things turn.
We do have a problem when the unions are doing what they can to make the city employees think they are more deserving or better that than those they serve. .. and guess who still gets their hefty dues no matter what - the greedy unions. Everyone needs to be part of the solution and make some sacrifices. From the top to the bottom. No one should be exempt. Stop being greedy.

-The Unions aren't making this any easier. They have GOLD PLATED benefits and they are walking around like they are poor. The Union is doing what they do best...misrepresent the facts and stir up emotion. All their materials contain very little factual information but contain LOTS of rhetoric.

-I retired from Los Angeles City and now work for another. L.A. City Pension gives 2.1% of yearly wages for every year worked. Cerritos gives 3%. The current City I work for has eliminated Friday work days, laid off employees and has not given raises for years. You do not see any Cerritos employee leaving for another City job!!!
