I got an awesome tweet this morning in regard to the BART strike that just wanted to share:
@cjc: Average BART employee salary is $83K/yr. A teacher with 10 years of experience in San Francisco makes $50K/yr. Who's striking again?
- kaptain 13y agoI'm assuming that average that you're posting is just the average of all the salaries listed in the data provide. This includes all the administrators (as far as I can tell). To be a useful comparison, you'd have to include all the salaries of the administrators OR only average the union workers with 10 years of experience (or whatever is the equivalent of a teacher with 10 years of experience). Interestingly, where did this person get this data? Is it publicly available?

Since she's an ex-googler, I would hope it wasn't broad speculation, those are her sources. My stand on BART though is that they provide a very critical service to the Bay Area. So they have a lot leverage in their hands since the strike is being felt throughout the entire bay and all professional classes. I disagree that it should be happening if their pay is that high.
