Workers for the San Fran Muni get great pay, good benefits, a large number stay home each day--obviously not a hard workload.
"Thanks to a sweetheart labor contract, Muni operators are the second-highest-paid transit drivers in the country even though they miss work for unexplained reasons on 13 percent of their scheduled runs. Muni’s 2,200 unionized drivers are also impossible to fire because of job-protection requirements."
Did I mention these folks get paid a minimum of $29.52an hour--plus benefits?
"Prop. G allows SFMTA management to negotiate the terms of the union’s pay wages, which, under the current system, are set at $29.52 an hour. Every two years, the hourly wage is adjusted to assure that TWU workers are always at least the nation’s second-highest-paid."
Second highest, by contract, in the nation.
Take away the drugs from those negotiating with the unions. That can be the only excuse for this government boondoggle. Thank the unions for this, and the voters for allowing it.
