This is part of the latest Tribune Creative Campaign
from the mind of Jeff Pinilla. Seriously. I was late for lunch.

Today a watchdog group called The Empire Center released the annual list of all the positions, salaries and overtime for all MTA workers (from cleaner to chairman).

The center says, "Metropolitan Transportation Authority employees received an average total pay of $71,237 in 2010, up nearly 3 percent from the 2009 level. The data also show that the MTA’s payroll increased by $71 million, or 1.4 percent, even though its headcount declined by 852 employees. For the third consecutive year, more than 10 percent of the MTA’s workforce – 7,993 individuals – took home $100,000 or more in total pay, including overtime and other extra pay. Some 268 MTA employees raked in at least double their base pay rate last year, while three employees tripled theirs."

Here's the statement from MTA HQ: "In 2010, the MTA eliminated 3,500 positions, froze managerial salaries for the third straight year and cut 15% of administrative payroll, en route to an annual budget savings of more than $500 million. Nonetheless, payroll did increase from 2009 to 2010 due to the 4% wage increase awarded by an arbitrator to the members of TWU Local 100."

Here's the release from The Empire Center and the list of more than 70,000 positions can be found by selecting/setting "Metropolitan Transportation Authority" under Agency/Area and "2010" in the Pay Year drop down menu on the site at www.seethroughny.net
