PRISON GUARDS SEEK SCHWARZENEGGER RECALL "California's prison guard union said on Monday it will seek the recall of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger after he ordered a pay cut for its members amid the state's protracted budget deadlock. 'We're going to move it as quickly as possible,' union spokesman Lance Corcoran said of efforts to launch a referendum to remove the Republican governor … The California Correctional Peace Officers Association must collect the signatures of more than 1 million registered voters to qualify the measure, according to the California Secretary of State's office. … The 30,000-plus-member union has long been at odds with Schwarzenegger, but his order in July to cut the pay of prison guards to the minimum wage sparked their latest confrontation."

this doesn't sound like a good idea. haven't they seen commando and terminator?
he'll be bahck.
or Total Recall?
I didn't know prison guards had gotten so rich making $7.19 an hour. Who the hell do they think they are?
Yeah, cause that's what you want. A bunch of people getting paid minimum wage, put in dangerous situations and authorized to use force. S-m-r-t.
Well, really, they should be doing it for the love of the job. Not the money. I'm sure that they love getting bodily fluids thrown at them every day.
They have no reason to be bitter about the pay. Damn babies.
The prison guards union and prison building lobby is one of the most powerful in CA. The guards get paid more than most municipal police and were only scaled back in light of the current budget crisis along with other state employees.
TS, you are such a smarty-speedo. Is there anything you aren't an expert on? Take off your trunks. I dare you.
"I didn't know prison guards had gotten so rich making $7.19 an hour. Who the hell do they think they are?"
One of the biggest and most influential lobbying group in CA.
Schwarzenegger had some great plans for prison reform and then gave in when confronted by this group and other groups that make money off human lives (prison industries, etc)
Too bad, because the prison system in CA, and many other states, is going to bankrupt the shit out of these places and no one is doing a thing about it.
