[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3254269, member: 1132"] So he's mostly pissed that he got outed publicly as a total hypocrite. LOL His staffers make a flat $36K per year, which would be $17.24 per hour IF they worked 40 hours per week. If they're effectively working 60 hours per week, they're only making $11.53 per hour and union or not, if they're on a flat 36K contract, they're neither eligible for nor are they getting overtime pay. That's a pretty slick way for the Old Bernster to keep more money in his campaign coffers. Word is he's going to cut them back to ONLY 42-43 hours per week, at the same flat $36K. That will effectively raise their hourly rate to $16.10, but only going forward. They won't be getting any extra for all those extra hours worked before last week. I guess selling that book, becoming a millionaire and buying more houses has affected Bernie's philosophy a bit. At least his private philosophy that is. [/QUOTE]
