GRIEVANCE FILED DUE TO UNSAFE BUSES-3 INCIDENTS IN TWO WEEKS


In the last two weeks we have had 2 operators transported to the hospital with inhalation problems and another operator had respiratory damage that had to be seen by a physician.
 What’s going on with Trimet buses?
We can’t even drive them without fear of hospitalization?
I thought safety was important at Trimet?
I guess safety only applies to operator conduct not equipment or management malfeasance.

    Anyone have vehicle numbers? Assuming they were Westside buses, I'm assuming they must have been 1700s/1800s - or were any 2000s or 2900s involved? (Or 1900s, for that matter?)

    I'm told the numbers were 1772, 1834 and 1841. Haven't confirmed that with TriMet.
