Maybe Trump can find us a better contractor since he harps on it all the time. He does always say he knows the best people for the job, doesn't he? 15 hours ago, SmallParkShuttle said: Ironically, looks like the "renovations" we're part of the cause. Post reported that a section of the prefab wall collapsed onto the roadway causing the derailment. https://nypost.com/2017/11/26/crumbling-wall-causes-subway-derailment-in-bay-ridge/ I see the TWU is blaming the Cuomo/DeBlasio feud for this problem when in reality, it's yet another instance of shoddy workmanship at work here. Those tile sections were installed around six years ago as part of the station renovations. There's no reason why they should be falling down after such a relatively short amount of time since their installation. Rather than directing their ire towards the mayor and governor, TWU should be going after the MTA and their propensity to use the absolute worst contractors for the job, along with their complete lack of responsibility, especially considering this doesn't appear to be the first time one of these tile sections have fallen off the walls. On a related note, just how many workers does it take clean up this mess? I'm not trying to be snarky, but it looks like there are about 30 workers just standing around while just a few of them actually do something. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted November 27, 2017 Share #4652 Posted November 27, 2017 They wouldn't dare possibly implicate fellow union employees by going after shoddy workmanship. What's more, maintainers (covered by the TWU) should have been checking for such things as corrosion and loosening -- something clearly not done. Easier for them, and better for their members to scapegoat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as if there are always those that are "learning" on the job.

FamousNYLover Posted December 12, 2017 Share #4667 Posted December 12, 2017 Does anyone was at Times Sq-PABT when bomb happened in subway passegaway? When trains were bypassing 42nd St-Times Sq/PABT, I would have MTA should have created free out of transfer at 34th St-Penn Station and Herald Sq, then 34th St Hudson Yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
