Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Sun Aug 8 21:10:30 2010, in response to Re: NY1: ''Straphangers Outraged By M.T.A.'s $600 M Overtime Bill, posted by Terrapin Station on Sun Aug 8 20:45:03 2010. That's right. The report is refering to all overtime.Come to think of it, the report implies that all the extra money the employees are making causes the deficit. That is inaccurate. Speaking for NYCT, lots of overtime for bus operators, train dispatchers, and conductors, just to name a few titles, comes out of the capital budget for GO's. For example, any dispatcher working a job made necessary by a GO and a bus operator doing shuttle bustitution work, is getting paid out of the capital budget and not the operating budget. This means their pay is being reimbursed. But this report does not take that into account. Common sense and observations dictate that a lot of bus operators are making big bucks thanks to all these RTO GO's. There are only so many extra list operators available to work these jobs as well as the regular runs in each depot. |
