Dear Sam,

You sold me a lemon after promising a cherry. When you say you want to meet me again after an initial “get to know each other” chat, it’s considered a promise. When you take over a year to do so, it is a broken one.

When my fellow Operators asked, “How’s your buddy Sam?” I felt embarrassed and angry. We opened what I hoped was a promising dialogue. Then you pushed me aside like an annoying insect. Yeah I’m tough on you when I write, but after you leave here you get the Golden Egg and we’ll just gather the shells. So when your assistant contacted me to schedule our follow up a year later, I declined. You were very tardy. You can’t be even one second late in transit or you lose your work for the day.

SHE BACKED OFF

 

THE SHAME OF SHIRLEY BLOCK

 

I've seen a lot of fucked up things since I became a member of ATU757 in 1996 but Blocks trying to ram through this 4 year contract at the very end of her term is really one of the most despicable acts I've witnessed.

While Jonathan Hunt was stupid enough to be conned by Fred Hansen agreeing to give up the right to strike can be seen as "forgivable" as he was "promised" things that turned out to be lies, Shirley knows her term is over but yet thinks she has the authority to ram through this four year contract. While its not a 'horrible' contract, the fact that she's trying to ram it through before her term ends is unforgivable. The "inflation raises" are insufficient (while Sam The man got 15% this year alone). Hopefully this will get shot down like her incumbents did. She leaves office as a truly disgraceful "president" of a union and she shows everyone that this union is owned by the company

THE LEADER OF LEADERS-SAM DESUE

PORTLAND AREA PEASANTS SPEAK TO TRIMET ELITE PUPPETS

 

TRIMET BORED OF DIRECTORS (aka the sock puppets) meeting coming up

 

NEW LEADERSHIP AT ATU757 THANK HEAVENS

I no longer watch these board meetings even though they can provide interesting details that will not be found anywhere else. I finally came to the conclusion that knowing all these "details" is completely useless as it doesn't matter what we know. 

Nothing will change by any of us knowing any of this. So what's the point of watching the puppets when it does not translate into anything that can create change.

 Its a crime syndicate, just like all the rest of the industrial complexes that control our lives. Government steals our taxes and funnels it upwards into projects that serve no one but the elites that are running everything now.  The corporations hike prices solely to pay more dividends to the elite stock holders and hand their CEO's hundreds of millions in compensation.   This is not a "trimet" thing, its everything now. 

We are living in a society run by criminals and they are stealing everything. All we peasants can do is watch as"they" are not trying to hide any of this blatant corruption. Its in plain sight, they even brag about it.

Our Congress, Stock Market, and Supreme Court are rank whore houses and casinos, peopled by sleazeballs, grifters and flimflam men, our Treasury and Federal Reserve are wizards in the dark art of making money from nothing, and our hugest billionaires pay no taxes, as working paupers foot the bill for their owners.

As we know TriMet is hardly the “leader” in technology but coming up at the next puppet show they give more money to these failed contractors cause thats what they do https://trimet.org/meetings/board/pdfs/2024-06-26/Resolution%2024-06-34%20%E2%80%93%20Authorizing%20Modification%20of%20Temporary%20Services%20Contracts%20for%20Information%20Technology.pdf

Also at the next TriMet puppet show they will give away $15,000,000 to “design“ the next useless pork barrel on 82nd Avenue rather than just provide more buses on that corridor cause that’s what they do. Steal your taxes and give it away to pork barrels https://trimet.org/meetings/board

/pdfs/2024-06-26/Resolution%2024-06-35%20%E2%80%93%20Authorizing%20a%20Contract%20with%20KPFF,%20Inc.%20(KPFF)%20for%20Design%20Services%20for%20the%2082nd%20Avenue%20Transit%20Project.pdf

At the TriMet puppet show they will be giving away $295,000 for “pre construction” work (cause the people that work at TriMet don’t actually do anything) https://trimet.org/meetings/board/pdfs/2024-06-26/Resolution%2024-06-36%20%E2%80%93%20Authorizing%20a%20Contract%20with%20Mass.%20Electric%20Construction%20Company%20for%20CMGC%20Services.pdf… all this pork will go to “minority“ contractors of course

Everyone thinks the TriMet radio systems are total garbage. So of course let’s give them more millions. The puppets approve everything https://trimet.org/meetings/board/pdfs/2024-06-26/Resolution%2024-06-37%20%E2%80%93%20Authorizing%20a%20Contract%20with%20Tait%20Communications%20for%20Radio%20System%20Managed%20Services.pdf

$3.7 million for some crap at the absurd “columbia bus base”— exemption required to give it to the preferred contractor https://trimet.org/meetings/board/pdfs/2024-06-26/Resolution%2024-06-38%20%E2%80%93%20Authorizing%20an%20Exemption%20from%20Low%20Bid%20Requirements%20for%20General%20Site%20Prep%20and%20Construction%20of%20MDF.pdf… millions and millions on pork but we “can’t find operators to bring your service back
