>There is no set rule in the financial sector that says there ought to be bonuses to "make up" for the bad times. They might do that, but then again, they'll give any reason to give themselves bonuses. And there's no set rule that says that BART workers have to get to make up for it, either. But they can negotiate for it, and they're doing that. >They're a poor excuse for public unions, who work for the government and therefore the taxpayers, to demand the same. You would never tolerate such lavish bonuses if you were a financial sector executive (or a government official in charge of oversight thereof), so why tolerate it for public workers? Because they're the "99%"? Lavish bonuses? They're asking for like $4,000 a year! Yes, I'm going to begrudge someone a billion dollar bonus but not someone looking for $4,000. -Z
