Posted by J trainloco on Tue Jun 19 15:26:18 2012, in response to Time for labor to sacrifice / MTA unions must do fair share — Lhota {Op-Ed}, posted by Gold_12TH on Tue Jun 19 12:56:07 2012. How did we do it? We eliminated more than 3,500 positions,including 20 percent of our headquarters staff. We renegotiated vendor contracts. We froze wages for all non-union employees.Our managers and non-union employees have given: Their salaries are stuck in 2008. This is what no one on this board wants to hear. Employee costs remain the MTA's biggest expense, and MTA has already taken steps to trim their non-represented work force's costs. If the MTA is going to become a more efficient operation, some type of change will need to be made to the current represented workforce. I don't necessarily agree that 'three zeros' is the answer, but thinking that all of the MTA's buget issues will be fixed purely through cutting management/administrative costs is unrealistic. |
