E-Z path to losing jobs
The MTA wants toll-collecting bridge and tunnel officers to literally sell themselves out.
Under a new program, the agency demanded that officers at the Henry Hudson Bridge try to convince all cash-paying customers to sign up for the “E-ZPass On The Go” program, which grants drivers immediate access to an E-ZPass device.
But the officers have refused to sell the tags, saying it’ll make their jobs obsolete — and yesterday a Manhattan Supreme Court judge agreed with them.
The judge granted a temporary ban on the program, saying it needs to go to arbitration.
“No one is talking about taking jobs away from anyone. We’re tying to expand the use of E-ZPasses,” said MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin.
