  1. ditto, the whole fiasco should underline that states/govt agencies are going broke and that is before we start talking about pension obligations. When you’re on the public dime…..

  2. “At No. 17 was Dominick J. Masiello, an L.I.R.R. locomotive engineer, who earned about $75,000 in base salary and overtime payments of $52,000.

    He also received $94,600 in “penalty payments,” which railroad officials said stemmed from a contractual rule that requires engineers who work in a storage yard to be paid extra if they are assigned to move a locomotive to a nearby maintenance facility or if they are asked to operate a train outside of the yard.”

    I have to unionize and get me a penalty payment clause for when management asks me to do anything.
