Really? The increases that were put in place to close the Port Authority's budget which the Port Authority could not balance in large part because of the salaries and benefits negotiated by the unions?

Not to mention that the job is obsolete and every toll collector could be eliminated and replaced by machines at a much cheaper cost except that the union contracts protect unneccessary jobs?

No. The toll increases that are on hold because it's illegal to use road taxes for infrastructure at ground zero.

But UNIONS SUCK! IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT! NOBODY ELSE'S! How DARE public workers get a pension! And overtime! It's an outrage!
