"Whoever signs this petition better be real careful because Jon Hunt will get Trimet to fire them. Jon Hunt and Trimet work together you know and are in constant collusion when it comes to who gets fired and who doesn't".
I said to him "he can't get 10 people fired".
He responded, "you have no idea what Jon Hunt and Trimet can do".
I can tell you this much, people are REALLY SCARED to put their name on this petition. Lots of folks talk big when it comes to Jon Hunts actions and how they think he has done a lousy job, but nobody wants to take him on.
My own personal opinion is that on the CASE REFERENCED IN THE CHARGES, Jon Hunt has played an obstructionist role.
Has Jon Hunt been a bad leader? I don't think that it a yes or no answer. It's hard to second guess the events that have happened here. From my world wide perspective, I have my doubts that any union leader could have done much different with Trimet management right now. Macfarlane is using Republican tactics and obviously is trying to break the union. Who could have stopped Macfarlane right now? My opinion is nobody, Jon is more a victim of current events than his own sloppy management.

How fucked up is it that one of your long-timers is so scared of speaking out against the union President?
