Of course the courts support PERs the judges receive some of the highest payments.
Someone made a comment that unions have nothing to do with management wages. Maybe not directly but show me a time when the rank and file got a raise that management did not receive a similar but usually a larger raise at the same time.
Is there some reason that negotiations over PERs could not be opened.
And since some management and elected positions are not covered by unions redo the PERs benefit for these positions. If nothing else doing this would maybe take away the incentive for management and elected officials to hinder any changes to PERs.
Oregon taxpayers could do a class action suit against all involved in hanging PERs around our necks.
No contract cannot be renegotiated if one side has the will to do so. And if that won't work the government has lots of practice avoiding the wording of a contract as well as just breaking contracts.
A taxpayers strike and blanket recall could be fun.
