Some info
1.The Unfair Labor Practice for TriMet Employees concerning COLA’s (cost of living adjustment) was settled and the Union won.
2.The COLA adjustments will be received retroactive calculating from 6/1/2011, 12/1/2011 & 6/1/2012. These are the scheduled dates that you should have received your COLA increases but did not, these are guaranteed wages that you will receive in your pay check.
3.TriMet’s current Arbitration is complete; Ron Heintzman was the expert witness for the union. Since Ron was one of the people who wrote the contract he was able to bring information to the proceeding and make it clear as to the intention of the Labor Contract Language. The decision for TriMet arbitration is expected on or before July 31, 2012.
4.The new contract negotiations for TriMet will begin in August, as the current contract (decided by the arbitrator), will expire in November

As we restructure Human Resources, Barry also will supervise our dedicated recruiter for Operations, Carol Crossen.
THERE IS A MAJOR DISCREPENCY ON THE OLD CONTRACT AGREED AND TODAY'S REALITY
Take a good look at this clause. Why is this not allowed when the contract states it should be allowed?
CLASSIC TWEETS
@TriMet Red WB MAX type2 has HEAT on (89 temp) but passengers aren't complaining if it's ON TIME with no delays :)

@TriMet good thing about heated MAX cars today? You'll need a jacket to go out in today's "blizzard" outside!
