Sanitation workers selfishly slowed down the cleanup - NYPOST.comSanitation Department's slow snow cleanup was a budget protest
Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts -- a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.
Miles of roads stretching from as north as Whitestone, Queens, to the south shore of Staten Island still remained treacherously unplowed last night because of the shameless job action, several sources and a city lawmaker said, which was over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.
They sent a message to the rest of the city that these particular labor issues are more important," said City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Queens), who was visited yesterday by a group of guilt-ridden sanitation workers who confessed the shameless plot.
But multiple Sanitation Department sources told The Post yesterday that angry plow drivers have only been clearing streets assigned to them even if that means they have to drive through snowed-in roads with their plows raised.
And they are keeping their plow blades unusually high, making it necessary for them to have to run extra passes, adding time and extra pay.
One mechanic said some drivers are purposely smashing plows and salt spreaders to further stall the cleanup effort.
Now, OF COURSE, union bosses are denying this is the case. They claim they are doing their best to remove snow.
You want to see how well they are doing? Take a look at the video below! They are not only deliberately being slow about removing snow, they are belligerent about it.
PEOPLE HAVE DIED because of this action by the unions. Do the unions care, or do they think this helps make their point?
This is aother case why unions have to go. They are antiquated bullies who don't care if the city is broke, all they care about is their power.
