It's extortion that people who work their way up want raises? 70k in the

How does it compare with similar semi-skilled workers in private
industry? Are other workers getting 4% annual increases? Are other
jobs getting thousands of applicants for every opening?

It's important to remember that BART was designed to be fully
automated and the train operator is little more than an attendant,
somewhat similar to an elevator operator.

Actually, no. They are trained in basic life support, CPR, emergency
training, plus being certified as a train operator.
