Reply to comment by Towel4 in NY lawmakers vote to raise their own salary by 29% by Unable-Ad3852

And yet nurses are not paid paid taxpayers nor did they vote for increasing their wages by 29%. Sorry did you read the article its like you meant to comment in the thread about nurses🤡

I’m just drawing a comparison between two systems of allowing someone to earn more money, and how they’re quiet juxtaposed

One, hot off the heels of a global pandemic of which NYC was the American epicenter, has to fight and plead for months to have 3% spit in their faces.

And the other system, which is supposed to be representative of the people, as you so eloquently pointed out, does not have its salary increases dictated by those same tax paying people.. they just govern themselves and approve unanimously.

Do you understand how drawing a comparison between two things works, right? You know that oranges can, in fact, be compared to apples?

There's a city smack in the middle of LA that recently voted to enact a $25 minimum wage for healthcare workers... which they repealed literally hours later when the new city council came in 🥲

Granted LA didn't have it as bad as NYC but still. We really can't get a win, can we?

Jesus $25? There’s 17 year old teenagers working in fast food making more than 15 year veteran nurses saving lives?!

We don't have parity pay for H&H hospitals and title 6 is not going to help bring staff to our public hospitals. The same public hospitals that become dumping grounds for unprofitable patients from the richer hospitals.
