Subway building cost FAR more in NYC

how else do you think MTA subway car repairmen can feed their families on a measly $220,000/yr plus ot, benefits, pension, double dipping on vaca/sick pay package, COLA adjustment, etc?

viva la union

Why do you hate successful car repair men? CLASS WARFARE!

Anyone want to move to Madrid and go into the underground tunnel that cost less than 25% of a new subway in Paris?

A million here, a billion to MN workers there, whats the whoop? This is why the second avenue train will cost $17B.

We should raise taxes on the 1% so that this fraud doesn't hurt anyone else when it continues.

Please don't insult Socialie.

One worker increasing his own pension by $1.5 million is peanuts these days.

The new MTA tax in addition to the rate MTA rate increases and less service is an insult to these fine heroes.

These MTA workers are, sadly, the 1%.

Alpo, "successful" means showing up to the job. That's it. He could suck at it.... and probably does.
