Transit groupie "john" appears in this KGW report
John rode with me for about a year and a half back when I used to drive at Center Street. After I left center st he started riding with Leonard. Its surprising to see him in this news report, and boy has he grown up. It has been over 10 years since I've seen him

DRIVING AT TRIMET IS A JOB WITH DIMINISHING RETURNS
And now we have a long time driver in the hospital with life threatening injuries.
This is what comes when you have a management that speaks so negatively about its employees publicly.
Constantly repeating over and over how great a bus drivers life is with the aid of the bought and paid for media creates negativity in the public's mind as setting the scenario for things like the Leonard James incident. I knew it was a matter of time before a driver would be severely hurt.
Now i have received reports how the low life ASSHOLE Mcfarlane, who has shown us over and over he cares nothing about the welfare of his employees and is willing to bend and break laws in order to show "who is boss', that he is going to violate the terms again and deny COLA's and other benefits to union employees.
Personally I have always said giving away our right to strike was one of the largest failures during the reign Of Jon Hunt
It's important to show Mcfarlane and the public who it is that actually runs this transit system.
Shut down Trimet for a week or two and see how things pan out.
It couldn't be any worse than it already is for unionized employees.
There is absolutely no reason to work at Trimet except the hope you will get above average wages.
Of course your life is on the line so you can get a little more money.
Only an ignorant person would go for that. There are plenty of ignorant people around however.
