…These people are fucking rediculous. They have the nerve to strike when they’re getting paid 18.xx /hr full time + benefits to start, not to mention what senior employees make as reported by the post gazette over the summer. F Unions and F overpaid laborers :madfawk: Assholes! Monkeys can do your random tasks and they get paid bananas :hitit: be sure to :burnout: all ove rthe turnpike all day today ---

> [@whitey](#): > > EZ Pass will own all those mother fuckers… And it should, fucking unions. Did you know that in other states that use the EZ Pass system, that you actually get a discount because they don’t need to pay a person to take care of you as you go through the tollboth? There’s not only a timing advantage, there’s an actual cost advantage. Pa TP workers couldn’t have that, it threatened their union, so we in PA get to pay full price. No price break for us, the union said so… ---
