University Of California: Kind Of A Racket

Today, alledged abuses of overtime pay in the University of California's School System was carried in the San Francisco Chronicle. The article failed to point out the root cause of UC employee's cost problem. I.E. the UC system employs app. 250,000. Students attending the UC system only number app. 220,000. The students and employees must be bumping in to each other on the campus if they can ever find a parking place first.

Coincidently tonight , Turner Classic Movies is showing the classic film "On The Waterfront". The film is based on corrupt longshoreman union bosses that shakedown ship owners to hire more longshoremen than necessary to off load the docking ships.

The UC Board of Regents and their operatives are kind o' like those union bosses. The Regents shakedown the California tax payers and students to fund their quasi-racket of overpriced educational services.
