DOUBLE PENETRATION

In November, San Francisco voters OVERWHELMINGLY voted in favor of amending the city charter, which ended the guarantee that Muni operators always be the second-highest paid transit workers in the country.

Now, another guaranteed perk is on the chopping block.

A "special trust fund" that pays out as much as $3,000 to each Muni worker as a year-end bonus is being questioned as service cuts and fare increases continue. Muni is seeking to cancel this years' bonus, which is estimated to cost $3.5 million. Transit union officials have vowed fight this in court.

Welcome back to the real world, Muni workers.
