Comments on: Muni Employees’ Salaries Consume Around 80% of Agency’s Expenses http://sfappeal.com/2010/01/muni-drivers-salaries-consume-around-80-of-agencys-expenses/ SF Appeal: San Francisco's Online Newspaper Sun, 06 May 2018 15:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.24 By: Matt Baume http://sfappeal.com/2010/01/muni-drivers-salaries-consume-around-80-of-agencys-expenses/#comment-10057 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:29:19 +0000 http://example.org/muni-drivers-salaries-consume-around-80-of-agencys-expenses#comment-10057 Now that is quite a bit harder to find. Individual salaries are kept secret, mostly at the behest of the union. The only info I was able to find was the aggregate of ALL the salaries.

Is there any breakdown available of the salaries of management compared to drivers, mechanics, etc? There are many different types of employees at an agency like Muni (I would imagine) and frankly the drivers (most of them) deserve a salary for being directly on the front line of dealing with the public…the San Francisco public transit using public…

How well do the suits do and does their compensation make the system better?

These work rules have been an ongoing stumbling block in negotiations over the years. Changes to these rules would like result in improved service, but in a heavily Democratic town, few politicians can muster the courage to fight an established union.
