Run, not walk out of California

The furlough plan comes as the Schwarzenegger administration and the state's largest employee union, Service Employees International Union, Local 1000, negotiate a new contract for 90,000 of the 194,000 state workers.

Can someone explain to me what 194,000 state workers do for the state of california. Just for refernece our lovely state has 6200 employees.

So the terminator wants to take away 2 of the 14 holidays per year and 2 of the 12 sick days an give them two unpaid days per month for one year to solve a billion dollar hole in the budget. So the SEIU is fighting it in court, they rather have the Gov layoff 12000 workers.
