The MTA hasn't done it because it doesn't have the courage to stand up to the conductors' union, despite the fact that modernization could probably be done without significant workforce reductions and would be a substantial benefit to their customers.As I've said several times before, other aspects of the conductors' work can either be assumed by the engineer or replaced by technology. I've had this argument countless times before and nobody has come up with any actual responsibilities that can't be done by the engineer or technology (because there isn't any). Everybody says they do other stuff, but nobody can say just what they do that engineers or technology can't. Needless to say, nobody has provided any defensible reason why there needs to be anywhere from 2 to 6 conductors on every train. |
