Oh wow, that is Tom Bregg. I remember following that story when and after it happened in 2009. His career was ended by the injuries he suffered as a result of being stomped on the head over 14-times. He had to undergo extensive facial reconstruction surgeries and lost sight in one eye. He also suffered permanent brain damage that leaves him disoriented and with memory problems. I believe he was 58 when it happened and had been working for Edmonton Transit for 33-years.

Like many transit operator assaults, it was over a "fare dispute." The driver refused to let him ride without paying the proper fare.

Several years later when being interviewed by a psychologist, the remorseful guy who assaulted the driver said something like "he deserved a few punches to the face but I shouldn't have stomped on his head so many times once I dragged him off the bus and he was on the ground." Unbelievable.

Oh this is an old story then.
It came up on an alert today.
Interesting because when I did the Google search I found nothing, and that is why obviously.

Back in May 10, 2012, ATU union International President, Larry Hanley and others convened a conference on operator assaults (1st National Transit Worker Assault Conference, which we never heard of).
