"The group says that some of the workers pulling down the biggest salaries at the World Trade Center aren't even operating equipment. It says about 50 workers are in unnecessary positions, such as relief crane operators, mandated by the union contract."
"But the real reason New York crane operators and other operating engineers earn such big salaries is overtime and benefits. A relief crane operator working 56 hours of overtime per week for 52 weeks will earn $332,667 in overtime and $159,053 in overtime benefits at the World Trade Center. As a worker's salaries go up, so do the amounts employers must kick in for annuities and pensions."

Go down to Wall Street, how many millionaires have ever actually produced a product. When the Crane operators job is done there is a job completed, a building built, etc. All the rich do is move digits around

They are one in the same.. who calculated those union pension formulas? who benefits from them?
Rich guy on West St., rich guy getting $400,000 for not doing much, tomato, tomatoe..
mehh, just don't get why some union members like to continually advertise themselves as "poor/middle-class" when clearly not the case. too many 'outliers' at this point to make it the exception.

If they were doing nothing then the buildings would not get built. If you want to see parasites go to Wall Street
Interesting that The Wall Street Journal does a piece on an industry decrying people who have the nerve to make $500,000.Would they ever write such a piece about bankers or stock traders , where multi million dollar salaries and $500,000 christmas bonuses are common ?
Why do they,or why does anyone, care what workers employed by a private company in a private industry make ?
