Why do some parts of the MTA get two days and some one....I thought we were one MTA....????
All you say is we need to save money but you dont factor real estate into this cost why???
Two days is the bare minimum for all we have done for the MTA not just during the pandemic but for them overall.
You also need to resume regular COLAs for the MTA we go years without them and they never keep up with inflation.
Don't make your office staff who have worked from home during the Pandemic be forced back in full time. This is a no cost benefit to the staff saves taxpayer money and frees up space on the trains and buses for paying customers.
Tens of thousands of state workers have proven they can successfully and productively telecommute and should be allowed to do so.
