S.F. Transit Agency to Stop Paying Employees to Work Full Time For Union

The San Francisco Chronicle reports on S.F. public transportation workers :
Muni management plans to end the practice of paying operators to do union work, Municipal Transportation Agency Executive Director Nathaniel Ford said Friday.

The six full-time union representatives will have to return to what they were hired to do in the first place, officials said. Five are Muni operators and one works in a maintenance yard, said Muni spokesman Paul Rose.

There's more:
The jobs are worth about $900,000 a year in pay and benefits.

What a scam it's been!
