SHOW UP AT THE BOARD MEETING TOMORROW
Neil Macfarlane and First Transit are conspiring to destroy the human rights of transit workers in the Greater Portland Area.
They practice UNION BUSTING, NOT BUDGET REPAIR.
We need as many people as possible to show up for the next Trimet Board of Directors meeting Wednesday, January 25, City of Portland Building, Auditorium, 1120 SW 5th Avenue, Room C starting at 7AM. The board meeting starts at 9:00 am
LABOR RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
Bad management
headach, neckache and windshield wiper on passenger side is broken..they want maintenance to look at it instead of a new bus!..i can tell motor is broken!
THE TRIMET WAY-MANAGMENT BY INTIMIDATION
TRIMET managers continue their reign of terror using Stalinisttactics in its ongoing effort to humiliate and demoralize its employees.
FIRST TRANSITUNION BUSTER SPIES ride the system posing as actual riders and send in “secret”reports which management then takes as gospel truth to harass its operators.
There is the never ending “YOU DIDN’T CALL YOUR STOPS” violations that never seem toend . The management squids won’t define which stops to call, and don’t tellyou how to do the job correctly, they jus t continue down their path of endlessintimidation of its employees like we are “mind readers” and are supposed to knowwhat they actually want.
The whole thing has turned into a comedy show, this neverending persecution has led me to just do the best job I can and laugh when theycall me in for one of their phony meetings. I have taken steps to protectmyself from the libelous ‘secret liars’ and I would encourage others to do thesame.
Your employer is against you and the public has been turnedagainst you!
PROTECT YOURSELF!Nobody else will. The union is powerless in the face of management bullying!
The ‘secret liars’ are not only making up lies regarding thecall stop nonsense, which in reality is happening because TRIMET MANAGEMENT DID NOT FULFILL ITS RESPONSIBILITY IN UPGRADINGITS EQUIPMENT TO ADA COMPLIANT, but they are also making up nonsensesuch as “operator didn’t scan”.
Unless the ‘secret liars’ are sitting right across from adriver, they have no way to know what we are doing.
It’s just another STALINISTINTIMIDATION TACTIC.
BEWARE! SECRET LIARS ARE ON YOUR BUS! PROTECT YOURSELF FROMTHESE LIARS.
DON’T BACK DOWN TO THE MANAGEMENT IF YOU’RE DOING THE JOBCORRECTLY.
The ‘secret liars” are reporting every single thing they don’tlike about you:
“Operator braked too hard”
“Operator was not friendly”
“Operator ran a red light”
“Operator drove to close to bike”
"Operator is over weight"
"Operator is over weight"
IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON!
MANAGEMENT BYINTIMIDATION AND INNUENDO, STALIN WOULD BE PROUD.
The only part that Trimet has not included is the GULAGS and the firing squads.
BUMBLING GOVERNMENT-JENKINS AND MURRAY
The idiots that control the traffic signals at Jenkins and Murray have provided for DAILY huge traffic jams and tons of air pollution because the light is never properly timed.
Congratulations to the bumbling bureaucrats that have responsibility for creating this huge daily mess.

Man spits in TriMet drivers face
PORTLAND -- Police were looking Tuesday morning for a man who spit in the face of a TriMet driver on NE 122nd, north of Halsey.
The passenger ran from the bus. His girlfriend was detained, according to TriMet officials. The couple boarded the bus without valid transfers, said Sgt. Pete Simpson. They were asked by the driver to leave the bus when the man spit on the driver.

TRAINING RIDERS TO COMPLAIN
(Someone called customer service complaining an operator was talking on a
cell phone when they were actually using the bus phone. The dispatcher
called the operator to tell them, and was noting that the caller should
realize it wasn't a cell phone because he didn't think there were cell phone
handsets that look like the old-style ones found in the buses.)

The Old Burger King Layover
I finally visited the remodeled Burlingame Fred Meyer yesterday.Back in the fall of 2007,I had a morning piece consisting of a 64,65 and 68.I used to have a 15 minute break at the Burger King.With the new remodel/demolition of the BK,the spot has been eliminated.
TRIMET EXECS ALL IN THE TOP 10%-most other full time people in top 25%
Now what exactly is the problem with transit?
ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR US

THE THIRD WORLD COMES TO AMERIKA
Never have seen anything like this in the USA, until now:
An unlocked panel door leading to a battery shut-off switch made it easy for a group of teenage criminals to disable a CTA bus, then climb aboard the darkened vehicle and attack its passengers, transit officials said Monday.
