Unfortunately for Bruce he has run head first into a management that will not be disswayed from completely destroying the union post employment medical benefits.
Unfortunately for Bruce his very own union has given away the right to strike (who knows if anybody would do it even if they had the option) which means Trimet can destroy the union benefits one arbitration at a time. Oregon's ridiculously written law allows one side or the other, winner take all is the deal, which is unbelievable and which set up the scenario for Trimet to attempt to get health benefits repaid to them retroactively which turned out to be illegal. Trimet still hangs on to the money they stole from union employees in defiance of two court orders..
We are dealing with Adolf Hitler when it comes to Mcfarlanes intention to destroy the union, A Trimet version of a tyrant.
This is what Bruce Hansen faces today, a crippled union, a tyrannical Trimet leadership and a passive membership. I don't want to be negative but I see nothing but a steady downward spiral for union members. In the end they have themselves to blame. Not Ron Hienztman, Not Jon Hunt, Not Bruce Hansen, its the members that have doomed our union.
