Week In Review

Week In Review  While at Manhattanville Depot 2 problems popped up which enraged me a great deal 1) Bus Operator who went on comp in 2010 for 2 months went to the IME just recently, the Authority tried to make him go to the Mac when he was done, of course I made a big stink about it, but the Authority couldn't understand why I was bitching. End result Operator stayed in service and didn't go a damn place other than home.   2) AGS at Manhattanville wanted 2 Operators to sign for work place violence memo's, when I refused to let them sign the AGS threatened to take them out of service. I simply said take them out then! As I called his bluff the AGS called  Labor Relations who told him he couldn't take the operators out of service, just simply hand them the policy!  3) SLD came back to work from a period of absence,  B/O welcomed the SLD back to work and SLD took it as a threat and wrote the same. I went to the AGM of the Depot and stressed my concern over the issue and threatened that if they took this Operator out of service over the Dispatchers false allegations there would be serious consequences including the shutting down of this depot! I was assured that all would be ok Pick News Pick started for all incumbents on October 1st 2012, there were a few errors that were caught early on the MaBstoa side, but we're resolved thanks to the TWU pick team
