Actually, Nertz, they would have been out of business long ago because of the bloated management structure. With practically one manager per regular employee, it's a wonder anyone is able to get paid. And it's incredibly unfair to call them 'over paid union thug employees'. Without the union, the employees would have lost paid maternity leave and sick time during this last strike. While certainly some SEPTA employees are surly and unpleasant, thuggish? Not quite. I have no clue if they're overpaid or not, but it's not really a job I'd want to have. Dealing with the general public sucks.

SEPTIC isn\'t privatized, moron. Why the hell do their vehicles other than buses have Municipal Government plates on them? If it was a private company it would have been out of business years ago due to the crap \"service\" they and their over paid union thug employees offer.

They deal with this stuff every year, so you think they would plan for it. They need to be privatized, as competition would get them off their lazy asses.
