Though I have to agree that the unions are quite worthless, working for the city is still another place of employment. There are plenty of families depending on the jobs that their mothers and fathers hold with the city. My question is why would it have to be the typical lower paid jobs to always be in jepordy and the people who hold the positions of running the departments be passed over for being let go? Its always the bottom of the ladder who is the losers. Those who head a department or run the city for that matter, are the ones who make the most money but at times seem to do less. Yes there are offices that seem to have some who just don't care about whether or not they do there jobs. I have had to deal with the tax office recently and I was not impressed by how the clerk presented herself. She had no respect for me, the customer and she had a very bad attitude. Believe me, I have had bad days but I wasn't working she was. Also, public works department should check on their people who are out on the road. I don't know how many times I see a public works vehicle parked somewhere and nothing is being done. They would be chit chatting with someone or talking on their cell phones. As for the police, well they are some of the biggest culprits. What a bunch of lazy bunch of people who rather sit in a parking lot taking a nap. When you do need them they take forever to show up. Its all over this city that used to be really a great place to live. I don't know if it is anymore. So just like any other place of employment, there are those who deserve their jobs and some who don't. Why don't they weed out those who are worthless and keep those who are the hard workers and care that they have a job?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-25222664783302252932009-10-26T07:49:59.195-04:002009-10-26T07:49:59.195-04:003:05 PM Oh no I'm not....

Don't you realize that you can't just start cutting people without the proper approvals and proper investigation as to who should go and who should stay? You make it seem like every one of the city employees is a Ward friend. Give me a break! Again, another citizen who doesn't have a clue how the city runs or the proper way to do things! It's disgusting! Go back to school and do your homework! <br />I'm tired of mindless people like you making statements that are totally NOT based in fact ... only stupid supposition! Your comment is about as intelligent as the guy who is attempting to say that maccauley and ward have total control over the unions and whatever they want goes. How absurd! I guess you forgot to include Cocakyne who is fraternizing with the unions just to get elected. Talk about doing anything to get elected! But I guess in your world he doesn't count. Again, hypocritical!<br />There's policies and procedures that must be followed. If you can prove they haven't been followed, then please call the attorney general for the state of ct or corporation counsel because then they would need to know about it.
