Do Temporary Forest Service Employees Deserve Lifetime Health and Retirement Benefits?

Posted by nationalforestlawblog on January 8, 2010 at 11:12 AM

According to Joe Davidson of the Washington Post, the answer is yes.  You can read his piece here.  Already, full-time and seasonal workers receive these benefits.  However, temporary workers are those who work less than 6 months a year.  Why should these not-even half-timers receive benefits that no private part-timer would ever enjoy?  If these part timers want full time retirement benefits they should go out and work for it instead of choosing to do a part time job building trails for the Forest Service.  While they might love their part time jobs, that is hardly a justification for endowing them with lavish benefits for a job done by summering college students.
