Unions Run Amok: Giddyup

The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) pays a “horseshoer” $29,245 in salary and roughly $27,000 in benefits. There’s only one problem — Detroit has no horses for the horseshoer to shoe.
Some critics argue that the department has been turned into some sort of a government jobs program. Meanwhile, the local union president says it is “not possible” to eliminate positions, the Michigan Capitol Confidential reports. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/detroit-has-no-horses-but-pays-horseshoer-56k-union-boss-says-its-not-possible-to-eliminate-positions/
