Re: NYC transit strike
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The city must have thought that because there are laws against striking in New York, that they can exploit the workers forever without any consequences. I think it is repulsive that a state can have laws that punish workers to such a high magnitude. [/ QUOTE ] The subway operators are being "exploited" at a current salary of $62,438 a year. Train conductors make $53,000. Subway booth clerks make $50,720. Bus drivers make $62,551. The increase in salary being asked for would push subway operators salaries up to $78,654 a year. Exploitation indeed.  [/ QUOTE ] How do these wages compare to other jobs in the NYC area? What about in relation to the cost of living in that area?
