Thank you, this is some of what makes me uncertain as someone outside, I have no idea as to which parties are actually receiving new benefits since most sources lump everyone together. It makes it very difficult to tell what has or hasn’t been accomplished and both sides can spin it to what they wish and most will never know the truth.
I do remember reading about the work conditions and just the logistical issues of having the job, and it did sound rather nightmarish and I had no clue why anyone would do it if they had any other choice. Props to those who do it, I’m certain it’s a crucial job, but it is not something I’m cut out for!
My Gramps was a conductor and his death benny’s paid for the last decade of grammas care so i was attracted by that. The pay was great and the healthcare and retirement are better then most.
The job was really, really tough though, in ways it’s tough to summarize. Not just cuz of the availability, but the way the the job worked. Worst job ever by a loooong way, and I’ve been a waiter, a telemarketer and a retail worker
