Firefighters getting overtime "were paid about $49,000 each in overtime last year, while workers in other agencies, including the Sheriff’s Department, were paid about $8,200."

lmao at averaging 150 hour weeks

The top overtime earner last year was Capt. Sergio Burciaga, who received about $322,000 in extra pay on top of his $126,000 base salary, pushing his total compensation to $457,000. Payroll records show that he worked 7,449 hours in 2017 — the equivalent of six 24-hour shifts a week all year. He works at Station 105 in Compton.

what do you mean what's the problem? it's taxpayer money. nobody needs fucking firefighters to work fucking "overtime" lmao they're braindead retards. they are quite literally fungible. you could hire another guy and pay him 126k per year and have them each work 3.5 12 hour shifts per work and literally cover the entire year for LESS than they're paying this guy.

How is this possible w/o fraud?

The top overtime earner last year was Capt. Sergio Burciaga, who received about $322,000 in extra pay on top of his $126,000 base salary, pushing his total compensation to $457,000. Payroll records show that he worked 7,449 hours in 2017 — the equivalent of six 24-hour shifts a week all year. He works at Station 105 in Compton.

*edit* we all gravitated to this...

Reached by phone, Burciaga said he was too busy to be interviewed.

Los Angeles County and City workers are some of the highest paid in the nation. They always ask voters to raise taxes to pay for "servicea" which basically just mean more money for city and county employees.
