[quote=Anonymous]I've emailed Mary Cheh upmteenth times about the insanity of Local 689's pension (which is the most generous in the nation given that it includes overtime pay). This outlandish pension is basically legalized theft from riders and taxpayers. Her latest reponse was the most disheartening yet...it seems the council has basically thrown up its hands and isn't even going to try anymore to negotiate for the 401K style that all the other public workers get. I quote "But this benefit continues to be part of the contract with WMATA. Alas" WHAT?? She's the head of the transportation committee...it's her job to help change the contract, not just accept the status quo we've had for the last forty years. I think the only option left is federal takeover of the system, so the employee's will be put under the GS system.[/quote]
