Transit driver appreciation day rang hollow for most Trimet drivers

This was from a light rail operator:

Driver appreciation day how a MAX operator looked at the day. What a joke! Three boxes of fruit does not cut it. The fruit was not out before the early morning people left to do their jobs. Monday morning there still was some apples. So I got an apple. Management thinks that the early morning people return to the garage. Most of us do not. The wrong date was on the posters that were put up the drivers areas. Management says they appreciation us, their actions say speak so much louder than there words. 

 On transit appreciation day, our customers got more than I did. They got pins saying they appreciated us. I got nothing. And it was to be my day.
