Transit districts are lying about not being able to find people.
Everybody with a brain knows that its not a 'labor shortage' its a pay shortage.
Considering what operators have to put up with these days these jobs need to be reclassified and the starting and ending wages must be increased significantly.
No Transit agency is stepping up to the plate to end the "driver shortages".
What's actually happening at TriMet and around the country and the world is that austerity is being imposed on the public and they hide behind the "labor shortage" myth
False propaganda--

This is a form of cronyism removing "objective" criteria from contract requirement and replacing it with "subjective" opinions of the TriMet executives who are now free to hand the cash to whoever they want
https://trimet.org/meetings/board/pdf...There is no link to the actual resolution because TriMet is totally incompetent now and can't even get the links correct

I HAD NO HELP FOR THESE CALLS GOT SICK OF LISTENING TO THIS NEVER ENDING MADNESS AT 21:21
TriMet is a perfect representation of government itself. Steals your taxes, does shit for the citizens, but has an elite class making lots of cash and doing very little work. Service has been cut to the bone ,its barely operational, yet the bureaucracy keeps growing and stealing more and more cash while the board of puppets heaps endless praise onto them. It's sickening
Remember the days when the executives actually shared space with drivers? Those days are gone forever as the TriMet bureaucracy has spiraled out of control pic.twitter.com/Cfv05DJDmB

The data makes clear that the trade unions are not organizations of the working class. They have been transformed into organizations that rob workers of billions of dollars in dues money in order to enrich bureaucrats who live comfortable lives in the richest 10 percent of American society. They suppress the class struggle and form a critical part of the Democratic Party and the imperialist state.
The unions spend tens of billions of dollars, not on improving the conditions of the workers they represent, but on an apparatus of staffers who workers never see nor hear from. The unions spent $15.6 billion in 2020, overwhelmingly on wages and benefits to tens of thousands of union staff. In most cases, these officials are simply Democratic Party staffers whose work campaigning for Democratic politicians is essentially involuntarily subsidized by the working class.
The report explains, “average annual compensation
According to 2020 data, “over 10,000 officers and employees received a gross salary over $125,000, putting them in the top ten percentile of income in the US (this does not include the generous health, pension, and other benefits typically provided by unions)."
Holy shit there are 2 TriMet supervisors on the “criminal list” https://t.co/z0KsRvjgNB
