Re: Hochul will veto anti-OPTO TWU rent-seeking bill

They would be eliminated by attrition which would take 20 years to accomplish.

IMO in the B Division the G and L would start being OPTO 24/7 followed by the J since these lines do not interfere with other lines for the most part. Then the C. Good luck to the t/o getting everybody off at 168 & Euclid. After that the M, then the B. And so on till there are no more conductors on the road. Picking a job will suck more and more as time goes on.

The train operators better get an increase in that paltry $5.00 per hour OPTO pay.

I will feel sorry for the new train operators who have to play conductor too. NYCT will have lots of problems retaining t/o's. I'd like to see Kathy Hochul do all that. OPTO in NYC is a lot different here than in Boston or Philadelphia due to the length of trains (see above) and the heavier ridership. IDK what happens in those cities when there is a BIE, but here when the t/o is on the roadbed, nobody crew member will be on the train with all those people.

But this is what they want and the control center will be screaming at the t/o's to hurry up from their ivory tower
