GRIEVANCE FILED DUE TO UNSAFE BUSES-3 INCIDENTS IN TWO WEEKS


In the last two weeks we have had 2 operators transported to the hospital with inhalation problems and another operator had respiratory damage that had to be seen by a physician.
 What’s going on with Trimet buses?
We can’t even drive them without fear of hospitalization?
I thought safety was important at Trimet?
I guess safety only applies to operator conduct not equipment or management malfeasance.

We need to know which vehicles were involved.

why doesn't someone get OSHA involved?

Anyone have vehicle numbers? Assuming they were Westside buses, I'm assuming they must have been 1700s/1800s - or were any 2000s or 2900s involved? (Or 1900s, for that matter?)

Ya the vehicle numbers are available and the are all 17/1800.

I'm told the numbers were 1772, 1834 and 1841. Haven't confirmed that with TriMet.
