What are the differences between a contractor's contract and a union contract? Why are some people against the gold-plated expensive sick leave buyout plans that some garbage workers have secured from the city?
You have no idea what you're talking about. A contractor's contract can be terminated at any time with a minimum of fuss. A union contract cannot. An employee of a contractor is the responsibility and problem for the contractor. An employee of the city is the city's responsibility and problem. A problem employee for a contractor is the contractor's problem, discipline, compensation, hours of work, and all employee-related circumstances. A problem employee for an employer is the employer's problem, including hours of work, compensation, discipline, sick leave and sick leave plans, and on and on. Remember the gold-plated expensive sick leave buyout plans that garbage workers secured from the City, getting added compensation for not being sick and accumulating sick leave benefits for coming to work. Ludicrous.
