TriMet is required by Oregon Public Records law to release the names
of employees. TriMet releases the name and years of service of employees
involved in accidents or incidents. Following a serious accident or
incident, we do not release the information for up to 12 hours in order
to support our employees during a difficult time. This limit allows time
for the individual to get assistance from our Employee Assistance
Program, as well as allow for gathering accurate and thorough
information at the scene of the incident. Under special circumstances,
TriMet will honor a request by law enforcement personnel to withhold the
employee's name.
The news media has access to police reports and can get an employee's
name from that source. They have called employees at their homes
following a serious incident. While the communications department will
not release an employee's phone number, we may call to ask if the
employee is interested in talking to the media.
So...what's the name of the MAX operator that didn't understand what a track bumper is?
ReplyDeleteTo this day his name has not been published...
Erik:
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should put in a public records request and find out.
I guess nobody cared to do that about the MAX operator, but they did for Claudine to pull her complaint history. That's probably why her name didn't come out until a month or two later.
I still see no inconsistency bus vs max here.
