Divide and conquer, Paddy. Multiple contracts, different pensions, different divisions, separate rules for employees under a single governing body.

A good idea, but think of the details involved:


  • Seniority reform
  • Queens and Staten Island General Picks
  • Systemwide integrated pegs
  • So much more...


Does "Regional Bus Company" ring a familiar bell here?

The entire system would have to be integrated, and of course, a single Union accepted.

There are only 1700 of us from Queens, with another 800(?) in Staten Island.

I like the idea. I don't think I'll ever witness implementation though.
