So: the conclusion of the thread is that Evil Union Toll Workers, most of whom make $40-$50,000 for breathing in car fumes all day, shouldn't be allowed to work overtime to get up to $80,000 a year (even though only 27 out of 147 work those hours) or $100,000 a year (only 1 earns that much) because .... well, it's just not right!

They shouldn't be allowed to earn so much money!

Even though allowing them overtime is far cheaper than hiring more employees, even minimum wage ones. Even though their jobs are being phased out by automated lanes. They should be paid minimum wage, and no pensions! Because the taxpayer is stuck for that ... even though the worker pays the pension, not the taxpayer.

It's all the fault of the Evil Unions.
I forgot to add your constant attempt to shfit what I have said, take some time and read the thread instead of erroneously attempting to shift the debate to support your ridiculous position.

You don't really think that the Port Authority's pension is funded by employees as opposed to taxpayers, do you Rita? You don't really believe that the consistent overtime is necessary and cheaper than hiring new employees, do you Rita?

You might want to stop talking out of your azz (though I know that is the only direction that wind comes out of you) and take the New York State Comptroller's word for it instead of mine.

And he is even one of your beloved Democrats! You might want to get your little pissboy to help you to get the facts straight as well.
