MTA worker fired for collecting metrocards?

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.  A New York City transit cleaner who collects discarded metrocards may be terminated from his job for using keys to open the metrocard litter boxes for his collection.  He was arrested when police spotted him opening the box. Do you think he should have been arrested?  The MTA says he wasn’t supposed to have the keys he claims he used for the lat 23 years to do his job.  Should he get his job back? What do you think?

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. An MTA station cleaner has been collecting discarded MetroCards for years, but now it may cost him his job. Tune in tonight at 5 pm to 7 On Your Side to hear his story and tell us if you think he should have been arrested.

"None of Your Business"

Hi everyone, we're looking for someone to profile about an upcoming 7 On Your Side story on Credit Cards. Have you been solicited by mail or email for a "business" or "professional" credit card, even if you dont' have a small business? If so there's good reason to be very wary, loopholes (like raising rates )which protect credit card holders don't apply to these business cards..Check your mail and your emails and if you've been solicited- call our Seven on Your Side Hotline and we may interview you for a future broadcast! The number is 212-456-3146.
That's also the number many of you use to give us story tips. Keep those good ideas coming and try to stay cool in these last few days of summer! Thanks, Nina
