SEPTA, engineers prepare for walkout Saturday
8.5% PAY boost isnt enough??? can the public afford that?>?, NO. Who got 8.5% over last 4 years?? Unions , the bane of passenger service…
Excuse me Bell, but who are you to judge what the pay package should be? There’s a great deal of give and take in these agreements, and quite frankly, you have no clue what’s all involved in this situation. So keep your hostile comments to yourself, please. No one has passed judgement on what You do; or made comments that maybe Your underworked and overpaid.
Bell does have a point. Given our economy, just get back to work and be thankful you have jobs. I have had only 1 raise in the last 6 years that amounted to $500 for the year. This is typical with the average American worker anymore and only stands to get worse as the minimum wages soar. There is only so much money to go around. What happens if all of the subsidies for these rail lines dry up and they decide to terminate the lines. Think it can’t happen? Think again.
