I'm still being sarcastic, but that's EXACTLY what all of these articles seem to be implying - that the MTA's employees don't deserve to get paid, as if every craft worker is in on the conspiracy to raise fare prices and aren't just average joe workers trying to earn a living.....with the MTA, as with pretty much EVERY type of job, there are some bad apples who cheat the system to earn extra time/pay. I certainly know how to beat the system and not get caught in my profession, and I've known other people who DID get caught, so that's nothing unique to the MTA, but it doesn't mean that the people who DID put in the extra time and effort don't deserve to receive the overtime pay that they earned. Do you put in 7 day weeks on MNRR for the fun of it? Would you still work those extra shifts if you'd be getting the same salary? Neither would I....And you're right, if you cut salaries, then they will strike and start looking for new jobs, and none of the trains will move at all.... |
