If there were competition among electric companies, JCP&L would have incentive to work harder. Furthermore, b/c these workers are union it makes it far likely that employees will be terminated due to poor performance. Time and 1/2 sounds pretty good to me for overtime. Most people work 10 hour days and don't get paid "overtime". Aside from natural disasters, JCP&L workers have it pretty easy. This is the time for them to prove that they deserve the contract. Sorry Ojo, looks like you've never taken a basic economics course and I don't have time to teach you.
