Several transit agencies I am familiar with maintain an extra board of workers who show up andare paid a partial dayfor being available and at the job site. I jhave no personal onus against a worker rolling out the service and getting paid. I, do, however believe that the agency should roster enough qualified workers that not outs account no employee should not occur. FWIW I received the SF Muni daily reports which detailed exactly those issues--not outs even by route in some cases though not run #--for several years as a member of Rescue Muni during a particularly ugly period of smoke and mirrors budget fakery. In that time period, mgmt maintained inadequate staffing in order to meet decreased budgets, addicted workers to regular overtime, and ran out of OT budget several months early in each fiscal year. Then they reprogrammed spare parts funds to get service on the street while stacking up OOS vehicles account no parts. As soon as the new fiscal year hit they were busy playing catch up on repairs. "Hell of a way to run a railroad"Bottom line. Fair pay for a fair day's work. The financial logic behind runninganhour or two of OT on most shifts is that the extra wages don't incur extra health care premiums (and I would suspect cheap enough increases in pension deductions though kicking the pension payouts down the road) that the bean counters think they are doing the right maneuvers. If you actually believe in an 8 hour day, this is of course crazy. I, of course think, that upper magmt should be docked for every not out run such that the CEO has a serious economic investmewnt in running a better railroad. |
