BOB FOSTER IS GREAT FOR TRIMET PROPAGANDA MACHINE
Bob Foster is a great guy but I sure wish he wouldn't cooperate with the same people trying to destroy his union. http://t.co/Od7Tsuao
The joy of riding Trimet public transit or 'seen and heard on trimet'
TOP CHANGES TO CONTRACT! (at least what I can see anyway)
But I know that there are some people that actually work at Trimet that read this blog. Surprisingly most of my viewership has no relation to the union or Trimet.
This is something important to people working there:

I LIKE SHIRLY BLOCK (a lot)
First off I want to say to all of my readers:
Despite what you have heard, I’m not a
waving maniac who hates managers or anyone
in control. I would like to say: I love my job.
Well, that’s a little white lie. I used to love my
job when I had managers who showed they
care a little about the peeks (us).
MORE TRIMET BULLSHIT

same amount toward coverage. The same plan means management and labor’s interests are aligned. TriMet also
believes this is fair considering that the average wage of TriMet’s non‐union employees, including wages of
executives, is only about $10,000 a year more than the average of union employees, and that union employees
disproportionately utilize healthcare benefits.
These fools that call themselves managers don't see the difference between a WHITE COLLAR job and a BLUE COLLAR job. One job is inside basically 9-5 with weekends off the other job is OUTSIDE, dealing with the public all hours of the day and night.
WHILE MCFARLANE SUBJECTS UNION WORKERS TO MCARTHYISM

Greetings!
In
the past, a number of people have complained that they want to respond
to McFarland’s company-wide communications and share their response with
their co-workers but that they have no way to do so. Now there is a
way. You can simply read McFarland’s statement below and email back your
response. We will compile these comments, without any identifying the
authors and post the comments on workplace bulletin boards. The Union
wants to stay on the moral high ground so please keep it respectful (hard to be respectful to people who have no respect for us) and
heartfelt. Thank you!
ANOTHER WAY TO SAVE HUGE MONEY
From Trimet's website:
About 87% of our workforce belongs to the ATU.
There would be no transit at all without union members who do the actual work
That means that there is 13% fat being paid at Trimet for doing nothing in relation to providing transit services to the region.
That 13% should be eliminated completely
WHY WE FIGHT THE RUTHLESS SONS OF BITCHES THAT RUN TRIMESS
prior to February 1, 1992, the District shall pay the full cost of
providing these retirees and their dependents with medical, hospital,
prescription drug, vision optical benefits and dental (retiree and
spouse only), not including orthodonture available under the health
and welfare plan in place at that time.
c. All Eemployees who retired on or after February 1, 1992 through
November 30, 2012 and those active employees who have met the
qualifications for full retirement under Article X, Section 1, Par.
2(a) prior to the first day of the month following ratification by
both parties or following contract award pursuant to interest
arbitration [substitute date certain once known] shall receive the
same health and welfare benefits available to active employees, not
including orthodonture or dental coverage for dependents other than
the employee's spouse.
The assholes that run this stinking hell hole want to degrade the health coverage of every single employee who has retired from Febuary 1992-November 30 2012.
What does that mean? That means that every single retired employee will now end up paying 6% of the premium charge every month plus any deductibles.
Mcfarlane (the lying thief) made such a big deal out of Clackamas Counties 'promise' to pay for that useless rail to Milwaukie. Funny how easily he breaks promises to his own employees.
Retirees have no way to produce extra income to pay for these extra expenses. ALL RETIREES SHOULD BE EXEMPT from his bullshit. Let us die in peace for Christs Sakes!
Steetcar riders pay the fare
My theory is because the fare is fair-$1 so people gladly pay it.
