The TWU lost on the premium pay the MTA offered the T/Os for OPTO. The MTA offered a certain amount to T/Os working OPTO runs and the union wanted more. Upon investigation it was discovered that premium offers by other properties was far less than even the MTA offered and the union go stuck with an even smaller amount than the MTA’s original offer. The original spirit of all straight runs with T/C (now called WAA) was that crews would not make the full complement of road trips but one of the road trips would be replaced by some sort of switching work. The way it has been working is that crews now make the full complement of trips in addition to the switching work and the spread on the so called straight runs approaches the spread of the old swing runs but with a shorter break period. By the way, when we had swings in the subways, there was a formula similar to the one on the buses whereby employees got paid for a portion of the swing time up to a certain amount. My platform job worked 6 1/2 hrs actual but paid 9 hours it was 7A-10A and 230P-6P with only 2 1/2 of the 4 1/2 hr break paid and that was at straight time. Back to swings vs all straights, as I mentioned the spirit of what th TWU was looking for in 1966 has now been replaced by the letter of reality and has turned out not to nbe what the union was looking for when it voted for the change. |
