"Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-13-Monmouth) today called for the immediate termination of 17 paratransit workers who apparently left 174 would-be passengers waiting for buses that never came on the day of the two clashing rallies in Trenton.
The senator issued this press release at about 6:05 p.m. today, in response to reports like this one, in the Asbury Park Press, describing the apparent coordinated sick-out by 17 workers for Monmouth County SCAT (Special Citizens' Area Transportation). Apparently all 17 of them, including 14 bus drivers, called in sick that day without notice. 174 passengers waited for buses that never arrived, and SCAT supervisors had to scramble to transport some of them to urgent medical appointments, including dialysis sessions."
This is why government workers have NO business being unionized. At least in the private sector the public has a choice if union workers strike or play shenanigans like this...we can take our business elswhere.
ReplyDeleteWhen unionized government workers do this they have a monopoly on their industry and we can't take our business elsewhere. In my town the city trash workers are unionized. What if they went on strike? I guess I could bury the trash in the city hall's lawn?
