It ain’t just the Long Island Railroad. This is a dirty secret of any government rail employment. Corrupt doctors finding things wrong with rail employees to find them “permanently disabled” or to have hearing loss or carpal tunnel to get some bonus $$$$$$$. It is a true crime being foisted on taxpayers.
The Left’s union protests have revealed big medical fraud in organized crime/labor. Recall the rent-a-docs who were providing “sick notes” to let the deadbeats claim they couldn’t come to work that day because they were “out sick”.
Hope they get the names and evidence on the Doctors that took the payoffs to commit this fraud. Then send them all to jail.
“This is a dirty secret of any government rail employment.”
Why would you believe this dirty secret is limited to “rail union”. I would bet this “dirty secret” is true with any public union. All Public Union should independently audited. Where did all the money go? How many Public Union funds bought Solyndra socks.?
The Times articles reported that virtually every career employee of the railroad was applying for and receiving disability payments, giving the Long Island Rail Road a disability rate of three to four times that of the average railroad. The Times found that retired railroad employees who had successfully claimed disability were regularly playing golf at a state-owned course without charge — another perquisite of their disability.
