Trimet can't find people to take their jobs and apparently isn't interested in keeping the employees they currently have

Over on a private face group there is extreme consternation over the current sign up for bus drivers.

While the block sign-ups were supposed to be eliminated trimet but also eliminated some long existing programs, like the part time 3 day workweek which is been around for probably a decade. And this is leading to yet another morale breakdown with operators. This is from a current operator.

This is the Breakroom for Trimet bus 17 drivers?

Pathetic

If I'm reading this correctly Trimet LOST this court case on secrecy

I think this is over the top

Not sure why Trimet thought this was necessary

The shootings have nothing to do with Portland or Trimet so I really don't get why this was necessary.

My assumption is that Trimet thinks it will be good P.R. 

If you scroll through the Twitter feed you'll see many citizens questioning the motivation also. 

Trimet not impressive

Henry Beasley on the latest assault

Brothers and Sisters,

Here we go again, number 27 assaults this year and…..welcome to SUMMER.

Last night we had yet another assault, this time involving an intoxicated female on the 75 line bus around 11 to 1130pm.  The intoxicated female was assaulting various riders then the operator.  The operator was struck at least 6 times, 3 of which were in the face.
