Muni pay is not the issue

The press attacks on Muni drivers are unconscionable. There are hardly any other jobs where workers are confined to a small space for six to eight hours a day with little time, if any, for water, coffee, bathroom breaks or stretching their legs. On top of that, there are no co-workers to communicate with.

How about lowering salaries for the myriad managers throughout The City who make more than $100,000 a year? If we expect Muni drivers who make less than $60,000 to support their families, then why are we giving a pass to those making more than $60,000?
