GOOD BYE LINDA
Linda starred in many of my daily videos WHO STOLE LINDA'S LUNCH?
 |
| Linda had enough and quit in the middle of her shift |
Another fine bus stop
 |
| Rear door of the rear bus empties out into a landscaped area, with little miniature signs admonishing people who walk on the landscaping. A MAX stop would NEVER be designed like this, but it's OK for a bus stop? I'm sure Jason McFarlane and Neil McHuff have a PERFECTLY logical justification why this bus stop was designed and built two years ago like this...I'm sure it was more efficient and safer and all that....I'm sure. |
Another fine TriMet bus stop
 |
| No bus schedule information despite a huge schedule sign holder for it. Another bus stop loathed by those who need transit information, but perfectly acceptable by Jason McFarlane and Neil McHuff. |

Trimess always has money to hire bureaucrats

SO WHAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE 'IMPOSED CONTRACT' MAY BE ILLEGAL?
This-first we will look at the section of the Arbitrator's decision that applies:
And now we will look at the final Order of the Employment Board
QUOTE FROM PAST PRESIDENT JON HUNT
I always respected Jon for his ability to organize protests and actively lead these protests:
“We’re going to war,” said Jon Hunt, Local 757 vice president. “You can
guarantee there’s gonna be no labor peace until Randy Stedman and Neil
McFarlane are in the unemployment line.” [Stedman is TriMet’s recently hired labor relations director; McFarlane is TriMet’s general manager, whose resignation Local 757 has been calling for.]
Cost of Youth Pass
"TriMet estimates that its own cost of providing the service is $2.7 million, entirely from reduced fare sales."
10,810 PPS high school students
Retail TriMet Youth pass is $27/mo
PPS students are in school 40 weeks per year
10,810 * $27 * 12 * 40/52 = $2,694,184/year
Why is PPS paying full retail price? Employers under the Universal Pass program do not pay the full price -- they pay based on ESTIMATED USAGE. Why is the formula different for PPS?
My hunch --
In the past they probably scratched their heads and said "hey TriMet, if we can get BETC to get you some dough, then let's do it." But now that BETC is gone, Sam is not willing to fudge the numbers to TriMet's benefit. Even Mary F. herself said that the youth pass program only costs TriMet "a couple hundred thousand" dollars for extra buses.
Sock puppets are meeting to approve everything listed here
Meeting Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 9 a.m.
City of Portland Building, Room C1120 SW 5th Avenue Portland, OR
Help Bus Riders Unite Hold TriMet Accountable!
(I really need to get more involved with these folks but they seem to be doing just fine without me)
Trimet always finds money for what it wants too
According to the agreement headed to the Portland City Council for approval next week, Portland will pay $200,000 toward the estimated $2.9 million program.
PPS will contribute $950,000 -- up from their usual $800,000 contribution.
TriMet will absorb the rest -- about $1.75 million in forgone revenue.

One thing I have noticed
MASS MEDIA IGNORES BAD NEWS FOR TRIMET MANAGMENT
Those of us that have been blogging/facebooking/or tweeting know how poorly the mass media serves the people. The mass media has been bought and paid for by the monied interests which are the corporate/government "partnerships" that exist around us, in this particular case TRIMET.
Every single news outlet covered the anti union ruling by Gaba. Although some of the media actually made some reference to the illegal and unethical sections of that Trimet contract, none of them actually delved into it.
Now we have yet another ruling, which has strongly condemned Trimet management on many levels, but where is the media? NOT ONE BIT OF COVERAGE, FROM ANYONE!
“People shouldn't expect the mass media to do investigative stories. That job belongs to the 'fringe' media.”

SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO TRIMET MANAGEMENT WHEN YOU PUT REAL PRESSURE ON THEM
They fold like a house of cards-they folded in one day with the Lift Strike an they folded to the Mayor who called them out. THESE PEOPLE CAN BE BEATEN WITH ACTION

New union contract effective immediately-Its the Blue Cross people that got it up the A#$!
TRIMET IGNORING ELRB ORDERS
This is a screenshot of the internal Trimet website-you see a lot of bragging over their unethical arbitration but not a word of the ELRB ruling which is fairly profound. Interesting isn't it?
