CTA rider: Workers were standing around

user-pic
A Lakeview rider wrote to "Going Public" to complain about CTA employees "standing around" when they should be working.

"I ride the CTA everyday, twice a day. This morning, at the Merchandise Mart during rush hour, there were 12 (I counted!) workers standing around.

One was fixing a power box, three were eating Egg McMuffins and the rest were doing NOTHING. What a joke. Where's supervision? Where's accountability?

No wonder a system is bankrupt when it pays 12 people to do the work of maybe two. And this, just two days after a train [allegedly] dragged a baby and stroller down the tracks. We shouldn't have to put up with a system like this. It is a complete disaster."
