Break down your actual job duties by percentage of time spent on each.
I will bet that what you spend the vast majority of your time on, day in and day out, is nothing more skilled or complicated than punching holes in little pieces of paper, opening the window of a train and looking out while the train is in the station, and operating an open/close doors button on the train.
While I understand that it is a job and it is one needed due to the way the LIRR operates, it is not brain surgery.

don't forget locking the doors of the last few cars on certain trains so they can reduce the amount of ground they have to cover!

LOL! Do you remember the time Johninwestbury posted a video on his YouTube he took of a totally crowded train on Halloween ... then he filmed the last locked cars, complete with ticket punchers lounging out all by themselves! He got threats from LIRR workers for that!
Of course he was going to get threats. In order to be a qualified union member, you must develop your skills in intimidation and threatening. Johnny SixPack can't much use his brain, so his shop foreman tells him to use his muscle.
Although I dont see much muscle on LIRR trainhogs.

OMG! Is the MAFIA running that union too?
No, I don't see much muscle either. Sometimes there are lots of shiny little pins on the hats though!
Aren't we always being told you get what you pay for. Thats why we live here . The best in the world.
in the world? it seems we (as in USA) accept mediocrity is some form of real success. In terms of a modern city, the NY subways & metro rail has become antiquated.....which includes the whole union debacle
