BLOG COMMENT WORTH CONSIDERING
It's a typical part of the manipulation process as well as insulating
yourself from accountability by blaming & pointing the fingers at
skilled people who have since left the agency.(regarding "it took a long time for this employee 'problem' to get to this")
Walsh correctly focused on dismantling the "us vs them" mindset of TriMet management and, he wanted strong healthcare for employees because he recognized the tenuous and stressful environment TriMet employees were working in. Fred Hansen wanted a diverse workforce and he demanded open, honest and responsive accountability to employees and customers.
Don't be foolish or naive . This current team of management has been around for 25-plus years. They have succeeded in moving backwards by dismantling all the milestones previously built. This includes: safe and reliable transit service; credible ATU relationships focused on communication & resolution; maintaining a vibrant, creative and proud workforce; and prompt response to every customer we served.

MUNI ALLOWS ALL DOOR BOARDING-NATIONAL MODEL
Previously in San Francisco, back-door boarding was allowed only on
Muni's light-rail lines and on certain bus routes if a fare inspector
was on hand to collect the fares or check passes and transfers.
Now the program extends to all railcars and buses, which have been outfitted with equipment that allows riders to swipe their prepaid Clipper cards at any door.

ABUSE OF TRANSIT WORK FORCE STANDARD MGT TOOL NOW
No single issue derailed contract talks, said Jordan. But several
issues, including bus-driver safety and required health screenings for
less-expensive insurance, angered employees, he said.
