Curious. How many state workers including school districts applied for unemployment benefits?

Many private sector workers don’t even have pay now, and many businesses are going bankrupt.

Do you think that any public employee union will ever abide any give-back, even in a pandemic?

Funny, that idea.

I’m not a public sector employee and I received a pay raise during this pandemic. I don’t consider myself to be immoral. Despicable maybe but that has nothing to do with my paycheck. I’m assuming only public sector employees shouldn’t take their raise.
