This is very nice...do you folks know anything about a wage freeze? Where I work we had to take a wage freeze,which this is to be evaluated again in June. The insurance sucks. Co-payments will break an individual. I gross roughly between $23,000 and 24,000,depending on over time. Take home pay is a bit over $17,000. I have been working at the "factory " for 15 years. Some of the other co-workers have been employed longer.Rising utility costs,food,gas,rent...I could go on and on...Try to live on that or even less...When do you people ever have to take a cut ? You have vacations,good health insurance...I am sure you have sick time also...We have to use vacation time in the event of an illness...not much of a vacation...I suppose you woudn't have a clue...Pay raise for congress...'
