Thanks WW. It is amazing how being a member of the same union changes some people's perspective. Previously = no brotherhood. After = we're blood brothers responsible for each others' employment and welfare till death do we part!

PS Swift's satire is superb... mine, not so much.

The analogy is loose as best anyway, since none of us outsiders are unionized with our fellow Jeff-Co residents...

I guess I have to do a better job keeping up with what is being said. I thought he was just following Jungle's lead lampooning yet another tax. I missed the union reference entirely--I think I get it now.

You know us tanker guys--we laugh at a joke 3 times: once when we hear it, once when it's explained to us, and once when we finally get it.

Slight thread drift here. Sorry.
Anyone domiciled in Anchorage notice something similar. Every year for the first few months they withhold Alaska unemployment tax. It seems when they hit some magic number (about $200) they stop. It's happened consistently for the past 3 years. Not a big deal but along the same line; I don't live there and only "work" there for 1 hour at the beginning of a trip and 1/2 hour at the completion of a trip...a total of 1.5 hours per month.

That would be SUT or sales and use tax in normal english. A little pot of gold for the local economy tapped from the herd of individuals who pass through by virtue of being employed by a local fixture. Not a huge tax, it is much like the practice of drinking the blood of cows in small enough quantities so that they don't notice, or at most feel just a slight sting from the arrow used to open the vein.

Folks, if you live outside the state of KY you will not be affected by this tax. UPS payroll is agressively auditing all crewmembers checks to make sure you will not be improperly charged this tax. Again, if your address of record is other than KY, you will not be charged this tax. Payroll has been slammed with calls. Controller Mark Slafkes is the one heading up this program.

Still doesn't answer the question for Oldham county folks...this is a county (Jefferson) tax not a state one...why should Oldham county people have to pay it when they drive to work and the Indiana guys don't?

B2P,

I'd call payroll. They told me some dude named Mark Slafkes is behind all this...guess he's the comptroller.

Haven't you ever wondered why so many of us commute to work from other states like New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada,and Texas. The taxes in the KY are equal to a house payment. Leave the state. Houses are cheap in Florida now.

Understood...Being pretty low on the seniority list though, in combination with the random dart-board schedules I can bid, the commute would be less than desirable from the farther states. As far as taxes go, Kentucky doesn't tax my mil retirement check (for now), so that makes it easier to tolerate as well. Payroll has given the standard answer to everyone who has called...if you're in Kentucky, pay up......so that avenue is useless of course. If I can't get a definitive answer before D-Day...I'll be happy to put down a half per cent or so of my time worked in JeffCo...they can figure out if I'm short themselves.
