i was coming home from the grocery store when i saw my next
door neighbor who has been on vacation for about three weeks.
he said hello so i went over to welcome him back and immediately he
started in on the mta and abuses of the the union workers who worked
for the mta. he knows that i am a member of the twu(transit workers
union) and he's going on about how many people in the mta make over
$200,000 a year . i pointed out that i know several bus drivers make over
$100,000 but they also put in an awful lot of hours to make that kind of money. i told him that i thought there are abuses in the union but that i
believed there are much greater abuses on the part of corporations than
there are on the part of unions. he kept going on about how a guy punching tickets on a train was making too much money and basically i told him that people like him want to see every working person make
20,000 dollars a year and have them work like a slave and that i was not
cleaning up anybodys crap which he seems to want me to do. i started
raise my voice and then i just walked away. my take is that he is awfully
arrogant to imply that im making too much money he doesnt know what i
do at work but he seems to feel that he has a right to basically lump
every working person into the category of overpaid and underworked.
bottom line is this people like to walk around casting aspersions and if
somebody wants to insinuate something to me im going to come right back at them and let them know how i feel. i dont care if they like it or
not if they dont want to hear it dont come around with some agenda and
u wont have a problem
