Attack state workers , Why?

The following is a random sampling from "Florida Has a Right To Know" website: These are actual positions, years of service, and poverty wages Rick Scott wants cut:

1. Accountant IV, 12 years of service = $36,744.
2. Tax Specialist II, 35 years of service = $40,255.
3. Correction­­al Officer, 19 years of service = $38,827.
4. Vocational Rehab, 20 years of service = $27,943.
5. Senior Rehabilita­­tion, 30 years of service = $34,087.
6. Government Analyst, 13 years of service = $37,561.
7. Revenue Manager, 22 years of service = $31,691.
8. Protective Investigat­­or, 22 years of service = $33,783.
9. Tax Auditor IV, 23 years of service = $44,845.
10. Accountant I, 5 years of service, = $24,580.

These workers haven't received a raise in five years and earn approx 50% less than their private sector counterpar­ts..when compared nationwide­, Florida's employee compensati­on ranks "dead last".

State workers need to organize, protest, "sick-out"­, do whatever they must do to end the continued exploitati­on at the hand of their employer !

Florida state employees are the perfect textbook example of the need for unions, and the fate of workers left in the hands of their employer

Why are Republicans trying to drive a wedge between state and private workers?  Simple, the money nthey save is money they can give to their supporters and pals. The Gov. in Ohio has already given his staff hugh raises.  Gov. of states attack state workers ,WHY ?
