Obviously I am dismayed that the management would write me up for capturing&posting over the air communications. I have no choice but comply but now i actually have something in wrtiting that i can show an employment law attorney.
Can i beat them in a court of law? Who knows, given the recent ruling by the labor board it might be possible.
That will be for a qualified attorney to find out.
Robert Romo has assured me that everything that is currently posted on the blog will not subject me to any retroactive discipline so the current blog will not be wiped out which had been past practice.

Um...really?
Does TriMet not understand that what happens on federally licensed radio frequencies is essentially public information? You did nothing wrong...anyone can go out, buy a police scanner at any Radio Shack or on any number of websites - it's perfectly legal in Oregon even to use a scanner in a car - and listen to TriMet. In fact, TriMet's assigned radio frequencies are public information:

(Type "Tri County Metropolitan Transportation District" in the name field; do not include the hyphen between Tri and County)
Even the base station locations - specific addresses of transmitters - is public information.
