So you want a raise huh? You want an 8% raise? Guess what....Noone in the city has gotten an 8% raise since 2000! Why do you feel you are so deserving. Us little guys have to deal with 3% increase if we even get one at all. And I'm sure you work hard,(Not!)but you don't pay to take the subway so maybe you should start doing that. So, not only do you get a raise, but you don't have to pay to get to work either. You know working at a hospital never gave me free access to healthcare all the time!.
So for the little people this means that in the very near future we will have to pay higher fares to get on the subway, paying for such fares with the same salaries we have been getting for the last 3 years since our companies can't afford to give us a raise.....
Did I mention that I hate the MTA....I took me an hour and 20 minutes to get to work today and I was frozen solid when I got here. I hope you all Transit Union people are home warm and toasty, don't count on my sympathy.

A girl after my own heart...finally someone who hates the MTA as much as I do!
Um, I understand your feelings toward the MTA, but keep this in mind: just last night the MTA BOARD (y'know those MTA guys and gals that take limos to work) voted on how they're going to spend the more than $1 BILLION surplus. Think of that when the midnight deadline passes and when the fares are raised.
If the MTA treats NYC commuters as it does, why would they treat their workers any different. The only way for the little guy employee to get a fair shake against an organization like the MTA is the unionize, and the main effective weapon a union has is to withhold labor.
Maybe we should form an HR union instead of be at-will.

The proper way to start the day is with BREAKFAST. After that, a period of mild loathing permissable.
