Great, just what we need is another "board" to tell us what is wrong
with TriMet, oh sorry, what's wrong with the horrible Union Employees
who want decent pay for a hard days work. The people that actually make
"TriMet Roll" every day. The ones that are up at 3am to get the buses
and trains ready for first pull out of the day. The people who are up
all night working on the buses, trains, overhead wires, track
maintenance, while management eat dinner, having a night cap and off to
dream land. The employees that saved TriMet millions of dollars working
on "PIP" (Productivity Improvement Process), to streamline processes
and make TriMet more efficient. Oh, what happened to the money that was
saved by PIP? We were all praised by management for all of our hard work
and input towards making TriMet a better place for everyone. Had Neil
McFarlane come to the table with something that was at least "not
laughable" I'm sure the union would have been open to dialogue. Across
this great country working people are being told to take one for the
team, while corporate earnings are the highest they have ever been.
Neil's opinion on who he considers "critical" people to hire are
different than mine. Without the people that get their hands dirty, have
limited bathroom breaks, shear fingers off while truing a train wheel,
inhale chemicals, work with 750 volts of electricity that can kill you
in an instant, get spit on, cussed at, these are the "critical" workers
in my opinion. It is back breaking and emotionally draining work and the
workers deserve every penny they earn.
