I never knew that doormen had their own labor union. It's bad enough that "elevator operator" is still a career choice in today's world. Perhaps this is why the cost of living in New York City is so high. People are getting overpaid for obsolete jobs. Maybe this is why I can still see some horse drawn carriages running around up there - the unions managed to preserve all those jobs too. I'll bet the toll booth people union really hate EZPass - maybe thats why I love it that much more?
Doormen currently earn an average of about $37,000 a year, the union said. They also receive tips for special services and as recognition on holidays.
Where can I sign up? Sounds like great pay for easy unskilled labor. I could commute from the Philadelphia suburbs and still make out like a bandit.

"You mean you're only a doorman?"
"Well, there's the door, man!"
Ha! You've been found by a "spambot".
