Retired Driver Paul
While buying coffee before my shift today,I ran into Paul and his wife.They are enjoying their retirement. He is best remembered for his 5 hour layover during the snowpocalypse at the Tigard Transit Center 3 years ago.
Cops: Mom beats, spits on SEPTA bus driver
A WOMAN with her 2-year-old child spat on a SEPTA bus driver and beat
him with her umbrella Sunday after he asked her to quiet the screaming
toddler, according to police.

Steadman is Neils henchman, obviously
Steadman of course is nothing but a HATCHET MAN for Mcfarlane, who must be tired of looking like the slug he is.
Content to play this as a riders vs drivers issue, these executives are really despicable. I have never seen anything like this at a non profit agency.
Of course they could lead by example by taking a 10% pay cut for all executives making over 100k which would take the high ground away from the union, but that would be too much to ask, executives actually give up something, that will never happen.
WELCOME TO THE BUREAUCRACY RANDY
TRIMET HAS PLENTY OF MONEY FOR STUFF AS LONG AS THEY CAN SAY ITS MLR
What a boondoggle. I have some very strong sympathy for the Republican effort to gum up all this nonsense.
Pork is here!
Pork is here!
Trimet continues fighting down and dirty
Follow
the link for the recent letter from the Northwest Oregon Labor Council
to Neil McFarlane, General Manager of TriMet concerning the ongoing
contract dispute as reported by ATU 757 Political Coordinator Mike
Pucik. What is interesting is the response the Labor Council received
from TriMet, not from Neil McFarlane, but from TriMet's Labor Relation's
Director, Randy Stedman.
In
typical TriMet fashion, Stedman is now floating the idea that the
Oregon Employment Relations Board (ERB) may lack jurisdiction over
Trimet and its three rulings which found TriMet to be in violation of
the law. TriMet never quits. Always trying to put the blame for poor
management decisions on someone else.
And
what is really amazing is Stedman's claim that "TriMet is unabashedly
pro-union and strongly believes in traditional principles of collective
bargaining under PECBA." It would actually be funny, but unfortunately
it isn't because TriMet leadership really believes this "fairytale"
story.

OPAL MAKES STATEMENT ABOUT TRIMET BUDGET
Alternative Solutions on TriMet Budget
Under TriMet’s latest budget proposal, transit riders will soon experience the largest fare increase in history, continued service cuts and less frequent service. These changes will have severe impacts on jobs, equal opportunity and environmental and public health.
We All Ride the Bus has developed alternative solutions for TriMet that will raise new revenue and save money to balance the budget without the need for the drastic fare hikes and service cuts in the current proposal.

TriMet changes customer service hours
Brilliant move considering that people's commutes last from about 7:00am-9:00am mornings and
4-7pm afternoons.
Of course nothing ever happens during the commute hours that would be of concern to somebody in customer service right?
Oh yea I forgot, this is something the public uses so its not necessary.
Safety first? Hardly! Live report
here is a good one for safety first..this guy that was driving my bus..got in at 1 am and this run starts at 436 am..wow!..safety ya right
ERIK HALSTEAD AT THE OREGONIAN

DAVID TRIMBLE RETURNS
Some of you might remember him when he was one of the assistant station managers. Another Trimet insider brought back. We know why they do that of course. SECRECY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VALUE TO THE EXECUTIVE CLASS AT TRIMET.
Here is what he will be doing now, of course with the usual executive salaries since they are so important and they must recruit 'talent' (what horseshit that is).
