Internal charges of faking MTA inspections filed in 'Signalgate;' workers contend they're scapegoats

A subway manager and several workers suspected of faking signal inspections are being hit with internal disciplinary charges […] Transport Workers Union Local 100 President John Samuelsen said rank-and-file workers were being scapegoated. Management originally distributed codes to signal maintainers because the signals themselves, often tainted by oil or steel dust, couldn't be scanned. Workers were told to scan the photocopied codes when they returned to the office, Samuelsen said.
