No surprise that Illinois’ Tier 2 pension law being challenged in court given how it was passed – Wirepoints Quickpoint
The law was bulldozed through in 2010 by House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton in less than 12 hours with no analysis, debate or actuarial assessment.
From the article. . .”some furloughs of county non-union workers,”
Is that intended to imply that union workers are exempt from being furloughed during the budget crisis?
I’ve read some furloughs aren’t really furloughs at all. They’re replacing days worked now with PTO days in the future. In other words, these cuts aren’t really cuts as the furloughed employees will get that money back in the future. Anyone else know how furloughs worked?
Yep.
There’s plenty on the table but it seems that there are fewer and fewer people willing to hang around to pay the tab…
Cut cut cut.
