@doc_gero The CEO of SiriusXM would review stats regarding how many women and people of color where getting promoted and retained. All while layoffs happened annually.

👇I was told directly by a senior colleague in an open meeting that I was not the preferred candidate for a leadership role because I was not a "person of color."
This was during the Biden era, and this was a very clarifying experience for me.

As a white person have you ever experienced racism?

@FairweatherPhD Yeah, try to negotiate with a Greek from Queens for more heat, not going to happen

I'm confused about why people are mad about this. Who would be an acceptable owner of an apartment building?

Private equity firms now own 1 in 8 American apartments — according to a new report from @PEstakeholder.

@TheLIRRToday That is to check tickets that another conductor will check on the train. And if not checked they expire in 24 hours and LIRR had their money
English
Got to dish out some extra OT to make up for this weekend. 💸💸💸💸💸
LIRR is so broken.
Ryan@_RF30
it’s 9:35. there’s no event at MSG and penn station is empty. those conductors must be that desperate for those four days of lost wages huh @TheLIRRToday

If you could have ONE of the previous cars you've owned back in your possession, in NEW condition, which would you choose?

@tomas_s242 All Unions aim to help themselves regardless of the affect on ‘customers’
English
as democrats we have to he able to admit when unions are wrong, lirr workers make well over $100k a year, many over $200k. this is a ridiculous strike. not all unions are created equal
Claire Valdez@claireforny
On the picket line with LIRR workers at Penn Station. Three years without a raise is a pay cut. Gov. Hochul and the MTA need to come back to the table and negotiate a fair contract now. The workers who run the busiest commuter rail in North America have waited long enough.

@mattyglesias “Good for them, bad for everyone else” describes every Union in all industries
English
The union and the incumbent hotel owners teamed up to quasi-ban new hotels and competition from Airbnb, so it’s now possible for the hotel owners to share rents generously with the workers — good for them but bad for everyone else in the city.
The New York Times@nytimes
The average pay of housekeepers in New York City hotels will increase to more than $100,000 a year as part of a contract settlement between an industry trade group and a powerful union. nyti.ms/4dPdsTw

@RyanBrosky After on earlier this year and a new ticket policy that makes checking tickets obsolete. Criminals
English
The LIRR strike is over. Customers can expect a 57% ticket price increase next year.

Bunch of overpaid ticket punchers that act like you’re a criminal if you buy your ticket on the train

“Fuck around, find out.” Long Island Rail workers picket outside of Pen Station.

Greater New York City has the most sick & twisted Republicans in America, hitting the Dem governor on the grounds that she’s not sufficiently in hoc to a public sector union that’s making wildly unreasonable demands.
And they are *always* doing shit like this.
Bruce Blakeman@NassauExec
Kathy Hochul has billions for illegal migrants and Zohran Mamdani, but nothing for Long Island commuters or the people who keep our trains running. The least Hochul could do is end congestion pricing during the strike and I will end it permanently as Governor.

Government unions exist to engage in a grotesque wealth transfer from taxpayers to tax leeches
New York Post@nypost
Hundreds of picketing LIRR workers strike it rich with $100K-plus overtime hauls: ‘System is so distorted’. Read today's cover here: trib.al/I67xM4s
English
I look forward to Bruce Blakeman's plan on how to cut LIRR costs without reining in union costs or how to raise new revenues to cover the higher union costs.
Bruce Blakeman@NassauExec
How do you avoid a strike? How do you run the nation’s largest transportation system? Don’t ask Kathy Hochul. A governor’s job is to lead — to negotiate, take charge, and do the hard work. She didn’t. I will. This isn’t just politics. It’s leadership.

@halaljew We are mad that they are allowed to be thieves. Somalis with Union cards
English
So much discourse about the LIRR strike is just classic petite bourgeois jealousy and insecurity. They’re mad that railroad workers who don’t have a college degree make more money than they do as white collar workers
urbanist slop hq@SlopHq
77 LIRR employees made over $250,000 in a single year, almost all of it through overtime stacking enabled by work rules nobody is allowed to renegotiate. the unions aren't striking for a living wage. they're striking for the right to keep gaming the schedule like it's 2003
English
As good a time as any to mention MTA pensions are also exempt from state & local income tax.
The argument for generous public pensions has long been that public employees give up more lucrative incomes by not joining the private sector. Except this argument increasingly doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
Then there is the long term value of an untaxed guaranteed lifetime pension. Someone retiring at $200k/yr is looking at a $140k/yr annual pension and ~$280k in tax savings over 20 years.
Jason,@jasonc_nc
Remember when the FDNY union was livid about not being exempt from congestion pricing because the $55/mo (couldn’t possibly take transit) was an untenable cost? Anyway the average FDNY pension at 20+ years is $171k/yr. “Regular” employees under the less generous NYCERS plan average $61k. (Pensions are also exempt from state income tax)
