THE TA THINKS THAT THEY CAN BLAME WORKERS FOR WRONG DOING AND THINK NOTHING OF IT THEY ARE WRONG. THIS INCEDENT THAT HAPPEN LAST YEAR WHEN A SUBWAY WORKER WAS KILLED BY A NORTHBOUND E TRAIN AS IT WAS PULLING OUT OF THE CANAL ST STATION IN MANHATTAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2002. THE REPORT SAYS THAT KURIEN BABY, PART OF A CREW ASSIGNED TO CLEANING AND REPLACING LIGHTING FIXTURES, COMMITTED A SERIES OF ERRORS THAT LED TO HIM BEING FATALLY STRUCK BY A NORTHBOUND E TRAIN NEAR CANAL ST STATION. TRANSIT HAS SAID THAT IT WAS KURIEN BABYS FALT HE FAILED TO TAKE PROPER SAFTY PRECAUTIONS. KURIEN BABY WAS NOT ACTING ON HIS OWN, HE WAS ORDERD TO GO DOWN ONTO THE TRACKS TO REPLACE LIGHTING AND A FLASHING YELLOW WARNING LIGHT.THE MTA FAILED TO PUT A FLAGER ON THE TRACK FOR SAFTY, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK CREW WAS SAFE FROM ON COMING TRAINS.THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE FALT OF THE MTA. THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY. WORK WITH LESS MANPOWER ON THE JOB. PUTTING THE WORKERS SAFTY IN JEPERDY.THEY HAD REPORTED THAT A SUPERVISOR WHO SENT THE CREW OUT WITHOUT SOMEONE IN CHARGE. THAT WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN THE DEATH,BUT NOT A DIRECT CAUSE. THIS IS A COWARDLY ACT ON THE PART OF MTA OFFICIALS.THEY KNOW THAT A FLAGER IS SUPPOSE TO BE ON ALL JOBS. WHAT WAS THE AUTHORITY THINKING? THE SUPERVISOR IN CHARGE WAS IN HIS OFFICE A MILE AWAY, STILL THE MTA FOUND A WAY TO BLAME KURIEN BABY.THEY SAY THAT THE MTA DOES NOT TAKE THE BLAME FOR WRONG DOING, THE WORKERS DO. THAT GO'S TO SHOW YOU HOW THE MTA OPERATES. WE ALSO MORN THE LOST OF JOY ANTONY WHO DIED 24 HOURS AFTER KERIEN BABY IN A SUMULAR ACCIDENT ON THE TRACKS WITH NO FLAGER PRESENT. THE MTA NEEDS BETTER SAFTY PROCEDURES FOR OUR WORKERS. FOR ALL MTA WORKERS!!!!! SAFTY COMES FIRST.
