Wily Municipal Unions ....when is a furlough NOT a furlough?

Those wily municipal unions continue to make SEIU/ACORN 5000 (aka "NAGE") look sick.
Talk about creative!

The headline reads 3 municipals agree to deferrals.... but when you read on it looks like they've done it in very clever way.... shielding their members from real losses.

Now when Dave "can I help you out with a few hundred thousand in members dues....Mr.ACORN?" Holway talks defferral.... it means the members are going to get level funded for a couple of years (that means no raise) with no retro....when Holway talks furloughs.... it means members are going to be working with no pay!.... Right?

Not those wily foxes in the Quincy Municipal unions..... no sir.

Here's how a "furlough" is not really a furlough....and a "deferral" is not really a deferral:

You get paid at the higher rates as scheduled.... but you work fewer hours (in their case city hall is closing an hour earlier every day)...so your annual pay remains the same....(thus deferred!) 

The hours that you are no longer working....call them a furlough.... the COLA raises (you get them but it's applied to fewer hours....you go home early)...call them deferrals!..... it's genius.....

.....now why can't NAGE do that?..... You know why?..... cause they don't give a sh*t.....
