THE PUBLIC APPEARS SHOCKED OVER THE JOE ROSE STORY

Latest "seen and heard on Trimet"
BOBBLE HEAD BORES ME
My advice to everyone, let her rant and rave and forget all about her. It's not worth our time to bother with her any longer. It's the same boring material over and over. "Poor me, poor me, they are all picking on me! Poor me"
I got it, safety problem-HIRE AN EXECUTIVE
That's the Trimet way since Mcfarlane has been in charge!

Airport MAX: Great for stealing luggage
Oh, the many interesting "features" of living in the Portlandia fantasy world.
"When I talked to the baggage claim people, they said it’s a known problem with people on the MAX. People come in on the MAX, steal bags and go back out on the MAX," she said. Police said the suspects are tied to several luggage thefts. The four adults face charges of theft, conspiracy and endangering welfare of a minor. They’ve been ordered to stay away from the airport for 90 days....Airport MAX: Great for stealing luggage (Jack Bog's Blog)
Port of Portland Police said thieves steal about 12 bags per month.
Good story on riding the bus
A stranger puts a heartless bus driver in his place:
As I dug through my bag, the bus driver started explaining in a rather pointed tone that the unfortunate stranger had to get off the bus if he couldn’t pay. He returned some reasonable excuses that he had lost his cash. The whole thing was sad and I thought the bus driver could have handled his stress a little more gracefully, instead of being so rude to someone in need. Digging, digging, I had nearly uncovered some change to drop into the chute, but someone else beat me to the punch — this awesome stranger.
With rivaling venom, the awesome stranger interjected, “It’s okay. It looks like someone’s having a really bad day and needs to take a time out.” It wasn’t really to the bus driver directly, but I think he got the point. I’ll never forget how he totally put the bus driver in his place before sliding a spare dollar into the bill acceptor, essentially rendering the (evil) bus driver powerless. It felt like a victory for humanity to see the person in need welcomed onto the warm bus. It’s really not something you see everyday.

LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE JOE ROSE CHAT
The union has nothing to do with handing out work assignments and the linking of operator shortage to the 'benefits' is a lie since the arbitration has changed all of that.
No more defined retirement for new employees and 2nd rate health insurance for everybody including current employees. Yet Joe and the liars who run Trimet try to ignore the fact that they already got their way. Of course all of this goes right over the heads of Trimet bus drivers who couldn't care less what the contract says as long as their take home pay bulges with dollars right now.
