Re: NYC transit strike is on: Who do you blame?
not to turn the forum political, but I thought even the most basic service person in NYC had to have a higher wage just to survive in the city.
But the union can't be having an illegal strike - they're liable to get cracked REAL fast...Look at what happened after the Air Traffic Controller's strike. I don't envy you guys...wonder how the folks I know in Jeresy are gonna end up doing - lots of carpooling, I guess. RB

Those are professions that people routinely say that it isn't about the money, no transit worker would ever say that .

[/ QUOTE ] YOur comparing an Average to a start salary. Average Salary for a Teacher is between 50-60 as well. NYPD police officers will earn $75,000 on average, after 5 1/2 years of service.

getting to work trip report
Today was remarkly easy for me. I walked 10 blocks to the car pool staging point in Park Slope. I got in some guy's car who was taking the Battery Tunnel. This was at 6:40 or so. There was zero traffic, and just before 7 he dropped me off on the west side highway. So I got to work 1.5 hours early.
I think the retirement age is the most absurd part of the union demands. 55 was a reasonable age to retire in 1965, not in 2005.
