Call the Union and get your delgate's number. Every garage was supposed to be given there own boxes with enough for everybody. We are all supposed to get a copy, period. You helped pay for it.

You should go down to the union hall so you can ask questions that you think are important Everybody with 5 years or less should go on the 17th. It should clear up questions... Explanations of your retirement program, annuity, benefits, and seniority are desperately needed... Take advantage.

The only update that I can give you about #6063 is what Mr.Nespoli said awhile ago, that there is no new hiring in sight.

Florida has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, just about every city there is over 10%. I don't know about the civil service sector though. Most of the jobs in Florida are low wage. It is a good place if you want to start your own business though.

You have a great list number, but how long it will take for you to get called is anybody's guess. That makes a big difference that you have family down there.

Here we go again with the NY POST bashing civil service employees. The average NYCERS pension is only 28k yr. Your pension amount depends on when you started, how many years you put in and how much you contributed. The Sanitation Department had the third-most employees on the NYCERS list with nine. One of New York's Strongest, Frederick Hoffman, 68, had the third-highest annual pension, $165,204, after retiring in 2007 as a district superintendent. [LEFT]

i guess they forget to say we contribute the most out of all the city agencies to our own pension...our money that they deduct goes rite into the nycers pension fund which then goes into investments stocks etc........ and the city borrows from our interest all the time...all i know is i work work work and every week im lucky if i bring home half of what i made.....oo and tell the post my take home money for 2009 after taxes was less then half of my gross tell them to write a story about that...

do you get paid of you dump twice on shift? a recycling dump is next door to the garage and my truck could not pack. if you went inside the body of the truck, you could probably push the blade home... thats how bad the truck was. the route was no heavier than it normally is, but before i knew it, it was loaded. the supervisor was saying that i had to dump the 2nd load because it was before the cutoff time, and i did finish the route. he was going on and on about if i dont dump again, he had to give me a complaint, if you dont dump i would still need to be loading at something like 1:20. i was tired of listening so i dumped again. im definitely not taking that truck again.
