text: They should publish the negotiated salaries. Keep in mind, all the residents pay for the salaries in the items you buy. I recall when a chemistry professor position at UC Irvine was open, they had 5 applicants, and only 3 were considered qualified. Contrast that with a longshoreman position that paid three times as much, and received over 10,000 applications. One more thing, there are basically no requirements for the longshoreman position compared to the Chemistry professor. The long longshoreman job of course is given to a family member or relative. Welcome to the corrupt world of unions.
