Did you really just say why don't they just quit? They have families to feed, bills to pay, mortgages, etc. It's not that easy to go out and just find a job. Have you seen the job market, lately? You're missing the entire point of these articles. These guys work harder than most people I know and they're NOT compensated for it. Yes they get benefits and a pension, but most jobs offer that. Their dental is horrible and offers hardly anything while the commissioners and supervisors have the BEST dental you can get. Their pension is based on what they make, so when you're making $25,000 a year, how much do you think their pension will be? Stop judging and making comments about something you know absolutely NOTHING about! And they abandoned Oceanside? I hope you're not referring to the actual loaders and drivers? They were out at 4am and getting home sometimes around 6 or 7 cleaning up these streets. A lot of these guys lost their homes and belongings and still came to work. Unless you were out with these guys, route to route, picking up ENTIRE homes that lay on the curb, then don't judge or say they abandoned Oceanside. You have to realize also, people for months, were laying mounds of garbage in front of their homes. When one street got cleaned, the next day, it was full again. When you have 44 guys on trucks, it's not that easy to clean up a community in one day. They did the best they could. The ones who abandoned Oceanside, were the commissioners and supervisor who decided to go into hiding while the loaders and drivers did all the work. Another big issue that you're overlooking is that these guys have gone almost 3 years without a contract or a raise. While not receiving a contract or raise, they still come to work and clean our streets. Tell me why other districts salaries are double what these guys are making? They pick up the same amount of garbage if not more! The problem lies with the supervisors and commissioners, it always has. Do not blame the worker who gets $25,000 a year a say they should quit their job.
