I was reminded a few days ago, as terms of the new DWP contract were revealed, that this is still solid advice. And I should say that not everyone thinks this new DWP contract is out of line. One reason is the contention that compensation is higher at other utilities, some of which have enticed and poached DWP employees by dangling better offers. Another fair question: How long might it be before ratepayers — who are saddled with both their own healthcare costs as well as those of DWP employees — pay more to turn on their lights and faucets. If you’re looking for work with good pay and primo benefits, run, don’t walk, to the nearest hiring office of the DWP.
