BART jobs are quite supply constrained. Sure, union jobs are great if you can get one, but there aren't many to go around.

Plus, who would really enjoy working in a workplace where everyone doesn't care? I couldn't stand it even if I were paid more, couldn't lose my job, and had more vacation time.

That's because they pay way too much. If they paid commensurate to required skill level, demand would drop because the true equilibrium price is much lower.

It's a union gig, it doesn't work that way.
