Massport has been, for decades, a dumping ground for hapless friends of legislative pols who can’t get a real job.
Everyone knows it, but no one does anything about it.
Wow, how would one decide whether to work here, or the Chrysler plant where you go to a drug house on your break?
Oh, I forgot. I’m not connected, so I guess I’ll have to keep my real job.
Similar salaries are being paid to toll workers on the Mass Turnpike.
And the western 2/3 of the Mass turnpike are free, but there are toll collectors at all the exits out to the New York state border.
I frequently get on the Mass turnpike in Spingfield, get a toll card, travel west an hour or so, cross the New York state border and hand the toll collector back the toll card, but I don’t have to pay any money.
And that toll collector makes $80K/year. And judging how they react, I’d say most of their toll work involves little collection of money.
if you want to work overtime to earn more money, I have no problem.
They’re LAUGHING at us. We have no clue as to how much cash they also pocket (from customers) in their jobs. These guys have it made.
