I work for NRP and our agency buys our benefits package from the City of Mpls. I also worked for G.E. for 15 years in years prior. My benefits at G.E. far exceeded the benefits I get at the city. That is not to say that I am complaining about the benefits I get at the city. I am not. I am thankful I have them and fortunate to have a job. But to state that public employees somehow make out better in the benefit department than those in the private sector is not necessarily true. I think the size of the company has a lot to do with it. If you work for a major corporation you generally recieve better benefit packages that if you work for a small company.
