The ridiculousness of today’s unions brought to you today via the New York Post [emphasis added]:
A petty union turf war almost halted the MTA from bringing a much-needed bus stop to riders in Brooklyn, The Post has learned.
Transport Workers Union Local 100 threw a hissy fit when the agency announced plans to have a Staten Island express bus pick up riders in Bay Ridge on weekends — because those buses would be driven by another union.
So TWU bosses filed an official grievance in July — beginning a two-month arbitration process to determine if Amalgamated Transit Union Local 726 bus drivers were allowed to pick up riders.
Finally, last week, independent arbitrator Richard Adelman sided with the MTA and green-lighted the bus stop; the new service will begin on Sept. 30.
