Why is the public sector under attack?

What explains the attacks against government employees and are any of them warranted? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about public workers. In this election year, they have become political targets. A recent study found that government workers in California have better benefits than private workers, but they earn less. What else do we need to know? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Whether you're a public or private sector worker, what do you make of the claims we're hearing about pay and pensions? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
