ATU757 president Shirley Block is right that Mcfarlane MUST be involved with his employees

Shirley calls out Mcfarlane's bullshit

ORS 267.135 clearly states that the general manager (not any of his appointed henchmen) is the one authority that administers the personnel system!

267.140 Duties of general manager. A general manager of a district shall:

      (1) Have full charge of the acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of the transit system of the district.

      (2) Have full charge of the administration of the business affairs of the district.

      (3) Enforce all ordinances adopted by the board.

      (4) Administer the personnel system adopted by the board and, except for officers appointed by the board, appoint, discipline or remove all officers and employees, subject to ORS 267.010 to 267.390 and the rules of the board.
