I live in CA. Need I say more? <g> My sympathies. Looks as though your poor underpaid, overworked government union employees are set to go on strike. Watching CA's fiscal mess unfold will be instructive, to say the least... hosted.ap.org Calif. furloughs prompt strike threat from union SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Furloughed and fired up, California's largest state employee union is asking its 95,000 members to authorize a potential strike. Officials with the Service Employees International Union Local 1000 said Friday that the union's executive council has approved putting the question to a vote. The union will ask members whether they want to fight further pay cuts. Aaron McLear, a spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, says the governor has proposed across-the-board cuts to deal with the $26 billion deficit and asks workers to continue to work. Union president Yvonne Walker says it is time to fight Schwarzenegger for imposing three-day-a-month furloughs, which amount to a 14 percent pay cut. She says members should not accept his latest proposal for an additional 5 percent pay cut. The voting will take about two weeks.
