What do you expect when you have union contracts that basically guarantees them a wage and a job year after year? Who has incentive to actually do right by the customers or even for them to work hard at all? Lowest common denominator will rule. Is this rocket surgery? Seriously, what do people expect will happen??????????
As a consumer, and as an educated worker, I side with the "big bad corporations" when it comes to at-will employment. Easily. Talk about hand-outs and entitlement of millenials... Jesus H Christ look at yourselves.
These aren't millennials. The millennials want to stay home all day, get free medical, free food, free housing. At least these union thugs do something.
Wha? I worked 16 hrs yesterday (7am-11pm). I do it fairly regularly when necessary. No idea what you're talking about. I'm sure others working 2 jobs would agree. And I don't get OT.
You're doing this 365 days a year? That's what the guy on the LIRR did.
I did that for 10 months straight after Sandy hit. I was beat, but made a ton of $. Its doable.
Ok, even if it's doable. Is it responsible if you work for a railroad? You can't tell me these hours didn't take a toll on you. And these guys are responsible for keeping commuters safe.
Having said all of that, this guy never worked the hours. No way. Anyone believing this is delusional.

Responsible? Hell no! Again, blame MANAGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, I do not work for the LIRR.
There is a tremendous difference between a public sector employee working O/T and a private business person doing same.
NAMELY a PENSIONS the gift that doesn't stop giving.
Whereas, if a private company chooses to work its employees for 16 hours a day they are responsible for whatever compensation package the employee is earning.
Responsible? Hell no! Again, blame MANAGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, I do not work for the LIRR.
Blame:
Management: for allowing this to happen
Workers: for gaming the system
Unions: for not allowing any sensible reform
As far as I'm concerned, they're all equally guilty and hopefully reckoning day will come soon for all of them.
