How do we stop the Portland light rail mafia ?

Public transit agencies need to plan for severe near-term budget crunches . Unfortunately, several of them are instead investing large sums in inflexible expansion plans for a transit mode that was rarely well-considered to begin with: light rail. #Trimet https://t.co/5VA6v1b7Nx

From the TriMet Drivers side

Early in your tenure as General Manager, a co-worker and brother of mine asked you about Thomas Dunn. You had no idea who he was. “I’m from Candada, you know,” was his reply. I was stunned to hear this. Eh? This story about your lack of knowledge of the transit world was truly disheartening to us all. When one of us is murdered, we ALL suffer the grief, no matter where it happens. You think like a CEO, rather than the leader of 2,000+ blue collar workers one paycheck from Tent City. This is exactly why ATU 757 was heartily against you being hired as our GM. You have no idea what it’s like to do the nuts-and-bolts jobs of transit.

STOP MESSING WITH TRANSIT WORKERS LIVES

Transit workers should be near the top of the list for personal protective equipment like face masks and hand sanitizers. If a city can’t provide the proper PPE for transit workers, it’s not ready to reopen. Transit workers should receive priority testing https://t.co/bXzHhKNIPd

Trimet Deke

I drive a city bus. Instead of shutting down bus service, our transit agency decided to keep us driving throughout the most dangerous of times we've known. Our safety is of little importance. They hire 20-50 people every month with replacement of veterans in mind. We're only expected to "serve" eight years or so, before management's restrictive and intensely-ridiculous edicts drive us screaming from the job.
