Oh wow. I'm surprised that hasn't been made illegal. That creates very anti-public-interest situations (where a worker will be abused in every legal way because they know they can't quit).

Hug a municipal worker today. They deserve it.

To clarify, I mean they don't deserve a hug on the basis of being universally exploited and underpaid. Obviously they deserve, by virtue of being human, the kind of love typically expressed by hugging.

I wouldn't go that far. A lot of these pensions, if they get paid, are really disproportionate to what you could achieve with a private sector job.
