@new_england_unfiltered: A Boston hospital worker contacted us with a troubling claim. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center allegedly deducts $220 from each paycheck for on-site parking. The worker described the cost as $440 monthly. But here’s a question worth calculating. If those deductions occur every two weeks, that’s $5,720 ANNUALLY. Nearly $6,000 just to park at the place you’re employed. We’re seeking payroll documentation to verify the charge. NOW, FOLLOW THE MONEY. Beth Israel’s own IRS filing reported $12,678,926 IN PARKING REVENUE for the fiscal year ending September 2019. That’s nearly $12.7 MILLION. To be clear, that’s historical revenue from parking overall, not employee-only revenue or profit. But it raises a rather uncomfortable question. HOW MUCH ARE THEY COLLECTING TODAY? The hospital’s current website lists garage parking at $43 for six to 24 hours. Patients and visitors qualify for discounts. Hospital employees? Explicitly excluded. Meanwhile, the hospital’s trainee manual describes separate subsidized parking arrangements. Different categories. Different prices. And apparently, a parking system substantial enough to warrant a closer look at its finances. LAZ Parking has publicly identified Beth Israel as a healthcare partner. The current contract terms and division of parking proceeds remain unclear. So here’s what we want to know: Who determines employee parking rates? How much comes directly from workers’ paychecks? Who receives that money? And what does operating the garages actually cost? Because healthcare workers already give hospitals their labor, time and expertise. WHY SHOULD SIMPLY SHOWING UP TO WORK REQUIRE ANOTHER PAYMENT TO THE SYSTEM THAT EMPLOYS THEM?
