this is an audit, this is only an audit
But what an audit it is! Perhaps unsurprisingly, the recent audit of the SFMTA takes the agency to task for excessive overtime rules and overly-friendly work rules for Muni drivers, costing the agency over $3 million annually. It turns out the workers can still earn overtime even when they’ve called in sick. So if you don’t find me at camp this summer, I’ll be in the employment line over at the MTA.
