Dante Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Good link showing how much BART employees make. For mostly unskilled labor working for a losing operation they sure have a lot of balls even thinking about striking. Bart's payroll is $380 million and they only have $360 million in sales. http://www.mercurynews.com/salaries/bay-area?Entity=Bay%20Area%20Rapid%20Transit Some background. http://spectator.org...arts-bogus-ride Sorry my mistake. Copy and paste screw up by me. Edited October 23, 2013 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I hear those trains are awefully loud.... "I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend, And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' on, But that train keeps a-rollin', On down to San Antone. When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die, When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free, But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures me. Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line, Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away. Want to know? ChaCha and go!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Their loudness had nothing to do with whistles. That is a relief! Did you see where a couple people got killed inspecting tracks? What are the saying about that locally? Rail is the answer! If only government controlled all transportation..... Don't be an idiot. I am a direct gov't worker. I work in transportation and directly impact about 200 million dolllars a year of the regional/national economy. I may NOT strike. We sign a no strike agreement. If we do strike, we get fired. Point is... Maybe maybe gov't should control all of the transpotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
