i did it could be police. it could be firefighters. it could be municipal garbage truckers. i dont see "corruption" . i see plain old overtime milking & malfeasance as in any other industry with extremely poor oversight and controls. It should be a fireable offense. But unions make it hard. That is by design. Do you think this does not happen in other nyc agencies doing services for taxpayers?

If you think overtime is the corruption one should be worrying about from what is described in the article then you either didn’t read it or you have seriously misguided priorities. Overtime is a red herring.

  I am not following. I read a bunch of OT milking + a bunch of @-hole behavior. Being a knucklehead doesn't make you corrupt. Then some run-of-the-mill lobbying of unions, as you would find in any large metro with a large govt payroll. Is there anything else I may have missed ?

They're delaying due process for their own benefit, this is the definition of corruption. Like the judges selling kids into private prisons, albeit on a smaller scale, no less a violation.

  That doesn't seem honest. If they are delaying due process by simply squeezing overtime (due to reforms the benefiaries didn't enact themselves, btw), ... do we also say a judge going on vacation is delaying due process ? Since when is optimal performance a right? Instead, we have curative actions. That is called firing. The fact that the management structure is failing to do that does not mean anyone is stripped of any rights, except that taxpayers are not getting their money's worth for the services they delegated to bureaucracies.

    do we also say a judge going on vacation is delaying due process ? You are being deliberately daft. Obviously not. The situations aren’t comparable.

      I was not the one in this thread, that compared OT milking to a judge getting bribes, to send more kids to jail. Those situations are not comparable.
