So you just need to go back and find that post so you can understand.<br /><br />I'm not surprised people you know don't like it. The union membership's default position for anything TriMet does (including the Roadeo) is to be suspicious & paranoid.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161417976651424314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595057345294486478.post-32245690978047775362014-09-30T19:12:13.308-07:002014-09-30T19:12:13.308-07:00So I covered it again, and all i can say is that i...So I covered it again, and all i can say is that i know several operators who know several dozen operators and nobody likes itAl Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670275801784105978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595057345294486478.post-19460708794383868332014-09-30T19:08:13.525-07:002014-09-30T19:08:13.525-07:00Al you already covered this change -- so it's ...Al you already covered this change -- so it's not a surprise.

The union hasn't signed off on anything. Merely presenting to the members.<br />2nd it's presumably to create more straight runs and weekend choices for those who wouldn't see those for awhile.<br />3rd there is some support among some drivers for the IDEA...except of course from those busy jumping up and down screaming that those rotten management bastards are just trying to trick us again. Let's see if it actually benefits operators before we pass judgement.John St Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683426856376354469noreply@blogger.com
