You do realize they pay trade workers prevailing wage. That's a nys requirement. If they could pay immigrants cheap, they would.. you should see what they pay their own employees and engineers. They pay them garbage.

But now we talk about outside contractors. They get it all. An electrican makes over a 100 bucks an hour. Their own employees are called light maintainers so that way they don't have to pay them electrican rates.

Lol as if it were so easy. The system was built to keep the people that's been working there and know the system. If you fired every manager, trust when I say, nothing will work. It's not a turn key system. The system was built with so many bandaids and inconsistencies that only the people there can run it and that's how they want it.

It's probably just a blame game because MTA now hires design build firms to do everything. With very little oversight of them. They probably ordered the wrong stuff and now MTA is blaming the vendor. The vendor is scared to lose their business to they take the blame. They are also charging MTA 1000% of the regular cost of the good so again, they take the blame....
