The city shelled out a whopping $32.7 million to 30 current and retired chief marine engineers and project managers, reflecting the impact of the new union contract.
The biggest instant millionaire was Mark Tettonis, who earned $1,689,518 last fiscal year, thanks to hefty raises and back pay from a long-stalled union contract.
Chief marine engineer Timothy Wood pocketed $1,559,299, despite a prior suspension for sleeping on the job—illustrating the lucrative pay amidst serious job performance issues.
A union contract inked in September 2023 resulted in substantial lump sums and salary hikes, enriching 15 Staten Island Ferry workers and raising taxpayer concerns.
