Z, Do we need to go into the specifics? If it makes you feel any better about your red herrings, go ahead, but you'd be wasting your time. So far, you have defended the high salaries of BART workers and their demands for 7% annual pay increases with the following excuses: - Government gives way more protection to corporations than to unions; therefore they have to make up for it. - The financial sector gives themselves bonuses to make up for the recession, so unions should be allowed to as well. Both are arguments designed to avoid having to defend the indefensible. You can't defend BART workers making as much as they do and demanding more, so you bring up even more indefensible comparisons. I say government should give no protections to corporations. As for the financial sector, let them reward themselves, but not on the taxpayer dime. None of this should support the view that BART workers, who are already the highest paid transit workers in the state, should get even more. Tenchusatsu
