TriMet Maintenance Brothers & Sisters:
We had our second maintenance focused mediation session with TriMet today, and we regrettably inform you that your employer:
1. Believes that there should be NO training program for bus and facilities;
2. Wants to contract out ALL new electric bus work;
3. Is not offering ANY apprenticeship opportunity to current service workers;
4. Continues to propose doing away with ALL state or Union training oversight;
5. Wants to do away with Assistant Supervisor positions;
6. AND wants to strike out ANY mention of Journeyworkers in the contract.
What can you do?
