Like you (I assume), not all Public Service agency workers are represented by collective bargaining units. I am not either, but I benefit from the trickle down that is negotiated on behalf of the unionized members of other departments in the Sheriff's Office here. Our state came up short the past few years and everyone who works for a municipal government is expected to share in trying to get the state back in the black. It's just the right thing to do and we all accept it. they didn't have any trouble finding their wallets to fund a new Vikings Stadium though, right on top of a perfectly functional one no less!
At the Sheriffs Office, to avoid layoffs, everyone had to take 10 working days off w/o pay the past three years. This we do, to help one another keep our jobs. Again, it's just the right thing to do. At least our health care only went up to $500/month with $40.00 copays each visit. So much for cushy benefits. Still, we are blessed.
My heart goes out to folks who don't have a job through no fault of their own, or worse, the working poor. The only thing they have for certain is an uncertain future. I consider myself fortunate. I don't have much time to indulge in the assigning blame game. My wife sure does though. Don't make me sig her on you!

Wishful thinking perhaps, but I bet the pricing will come down once the back-order market is filled.
