Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Sun Aug 8 19:31:27 2010, in response to Re: NY1: ''Straphangers Outraged By M.T.A.'s $600 M Overtime Bill, posted by Bill from Maspeth on Sun Aug 8 18:52:12 2010. So on the report they show 60 top o/t earners. There are about 15 LIRR guys right at the top. Did NY1 report this?There were no NYCT train operators. Did NY1 report this? There were 2 or 3 NYCT conductors. Did NY1 report this? There were a few NYCT bus operators. There are lots of GO's for bustitutions. Perhaps these guys worked when nobody else wanted the overtime? A couple of NYCT train dispatchers are in that 60. They always need dispatchers to work overtime because they never have enough on the roster since so many go back to their former title or take a promotion to a higher position. And for lots of weekend GO's they are needed. I don't know if they still do this, but you had dispatchers on GO weekend overtime with a scheduled 12 hour workday. Is that the employees fault? There are cases that if a dispatcher on his regular job is not going to be relieved, he does not want the double and these 2 big earnings dispatchers could be his ace in the hole because they are willing to work. One makes money in this country by working long hours. But it's a crime in MTA land. Maybe a few have questionable overtime but that which is in direct operation of the railroad or bus system is justified. Maybe NYCT will have a reduction in sick leave if they have people assigned to clean facilities, to supply soap and paper towels at all times. We work in a filthy enviornment with passengers equally filthy coughing and sneezing on us. What are we robots? Maybe if NYCT would put rubber weather stripping around the bulkhead doors of transverse cabs (especially R46's) so the t/o wouldn't have freezing air bombarding him all winter fewer of us would get cold and flu. It's always a culture of blame the front line employee with reports written by people who work in a clean temperature controlled enviornment. Enough of ranting. |
