Last November, a nonprofit called Transparent California reported that a BART janitor named Liang Zhao Zhang made $271,000 in a single year over $162,000 of that in the form of overtime. Now, a KTVU investigation into Zhang's hours and pay revealed that he disappears into a storage closet at the Powell St. station, sometimes for hours a day. In order to observe how Zhang spent his sometimes 17-hour work day, KTVU requested surveillance video from BART. On it, they saw Zhang entering a storage closet twice in one day, once for 54 minutes and again for 90 minutes later in the day. On another day, they observed Zhang in the closet for 90 minutes in the afternoon and another 78 minutes in the evening.

Well in a twelve hour day one is required to take two half hour breaks and have two 15 minute breaks.

$109,000 base salary for a janitor? Good work if you can get it!

Even without the overtime, he is still making over $100K/year.
No wonder Kalifornia is broke.

Yeah - with this sort of pay I thought he was going to bed at night in the closet and charging for 8 hours of O.T. I guess he has a good union.
