David Walker on Jobs

 

 


Reform public employee collective bargaining to avoid abuse

Collective Bargaining: Public employees should have the right to engage in collective bargaining; however, reforms as to the scope of bargaining and the arbitration process are needed to protect taxpayers from abuse.

Government employees should receive competitive compensation based on their skills, knowledge, experience and performance, as well as benefits that are affordable, sustainable and fair to the employees and retirees as well as to the taxpayers who must fund them.

Emphasize approaches that help people help themselves

Connecticut needs to have a reasonable and sustainable social safety net, one that focuses on people who are in need without discouraging work. We should also emphasize approaches that help people help themselves (e.g. effective training programs that are linked to real job opportunities) while taking additional steps to minimize fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement.
