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, they don’t pay their employees garbage. They get quadruple overtime for showing up.

No they don't. In the sense of paying them a days rate to do 2 hours of work. Yes quadruple. But no one gets quadruple OT. Policy is max, double OT.

“Generous contracts that allow engineers to draw quadruple pay for a standard shift, while conductors can easily score double pay just for working a Mets-game train — even if they clock no overtime;”
Did you read the linked article?

Not the white collar employees. I was looking for IT work and the MTA pays rock bottom prices for in-house IT. The MTA is very generous with certain groups within its ranks and to outside contractors.
