Management Snakes

Brothers and Sisters of MaBstoa; the fight to maintain our pick rights has not been created in a vacuumed. Managers such as Eddie Melendez (Former TWU Vice President) and Daryl Irick Senior Vice President of the Department of Buses have been planing to abolish the one thorn in their financial sides( MaBstoa Pick Rights)  Eddie Melendez was a former Vice President of the TA Surface Bus Division who worked very closely with all the MaBstoa Reps of that time, his very involvement is the exact reason why we have to put language in our ByLaws preventing folks from giving away our secrets! Sellouts such as Melendez won't materialize to later give away union secrets! Daryl Irick is another story altogether. Educated and wise to the game of chess. Daryl's African American heritage give easy way for him to deceive while attacking the very fabric in which he himself benefited from.  This is no attack against Mr Irick but an acknowledgment that he does his job well! Daryl has managed to maintain many relationships where many of our own members report directly to him, which is in itself a destruction to our union ways! For those who have given away our secrets I suggest you either get on the unions page, or take the Dispatchers exam! Next time MCH Depot comes up in conversation or the quest for part-time Bus Operators remember who's at the top of the Department of Buses food chain! Lets stand together, because together we make a difference!
