"New data was released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis on federal employee wages and benefits. The data for 2005 shows that compensation for the average federal civilian worker ($106,579) is now exactly double the average compensation in the U.S. private sector ($53,289)."

Traffic lights on the fritz, canceled welfare checks and trash accumulating on the streets are among the worst-case scenarios looming if labor leaders and Sacramento County negotiators fail to craft new contracts by Sept. 5.

"Basically it will be a mess everywhere," said Sandra Poole, executive director of the labor unit representing county office staff and welfare workers.

A coalition of unions representing Sacramento County's labor force -- calling the county's current contract offers unacceptable -- says it's ready to walk out Sept. 5.

Initially, the strike date was Sept. 1 but has been pushed back.http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/sacramento/story/14302752p-15175045c.html
