....and you were 90 minutes from the jobs in mid-town via the A for that kind of money.

Respects to your late hubby, there are heroes over here too.

Enjoy the warmth...from a guy born in Middle Village.

90 minutes on a good day ... lol ... with a very very cold wait at Broad Channel for the Rock Park shuttle.

I thought I read earlier on this thread that they were asking for a 24% raise for each of three years. I was under the impression they were asking for 8% over three years (3-2-3). Do you know which is correct? I know that the Rent Stabilization Board has approved a 2.75% increase in rents to landlords. If the TA rank and file are only getting 3% in the 1st year, with most of it going to the landlord, that's not much of a salary increase in my humble opinion.

From what I gather MTA threw the pension contribution increases on the table at the very last minute. Even tho that's not under their control, it just about forced the TA to strike ... which might have been exactly what MTA wanted. And don't think the other City unions aren't watching ... what effects one will eventually effect all.

Thank you for you kind words about Kevin. He was one of the good guys and I miss him very much.
