In this economy, those crews should be glad to be making the money they are. Millions of people are out of work or struggling to meet ends in a low paying job at a fast food restaurant. They'd gladly trade places with those complaining SEPTA crew members.For example, the new Sugar House Casino in Philly just hired 800 people. They stated that 20,000 people applied for those 800 jobs. Does that tell you anything? The local Philly T V news reporters interviewed stock brokers, real estate agents, etc., now working in casino jobs. So my point is that these SEPTA crew members shouldn't object to doing their jobs for what they're getting paid. Sure, we'd all love to lounge in a comfortable seat, do nothing and get paid for it. Who wouldn't? I ride on SEPTA trains where crews don't even bother to call out the stops on the P A and in some cases even collect tickets. If you want to find them, just open the front cab door !! I've even seen many cases where two crew members will be "up front" with the engineer while a third crew member will be working the doors, etc. Great job if you can get it...... I expect rail crew members who read this to scream their heads off, but they know I'm right. And you guys know I'm right too........... |
