Key points he shoul...Bruce did not interview well. Key points he should have hammered home:<br /><br />1) ATU proposed changes to the HOS policy FIRST, before TriMet. <br /><br />2) ATU proposed a policy that is much safer, TriMet rejected that.<br /><br />3) TriMet's proposal does not limit the total time on-duty, but ATU's does.<br /><br />3a) There is lots of evidence (Bruce listed it in his response) that says split shifts are the more serious/dangerous issue -- and TriMet's response doesn't address it.<br /><br />4) The only reason why ATU is not at the contract negotiation table right now is because TriMet is unwilling to allow the public access to the negotiations.<br /><br />I thought Dave (the host) was playing softball, but he can only go so far -- Bruce still has to whack it out of the park, and I didn't see him do that. Hopefully he will get better at this as time goes by.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161417976651424314noreply@blogger.com
