A steady pay check, that began at under 25K a year. try supporting a family in Long Island on that, oh and that fat pension, I paid for it. Hey it's Christmas, but I'll be working, New Years Eve too, as a matter of fact worked NYE for the last 20 + years. My wife stays home and watches it on TV. You have no idea what the sacrifices these jobs are, but keep reading Newsday and The Daily News to get the truth!!
