Subject: Re: SAFETY OF BUS OPERATORS IGNORED PART 2 Author: SAM [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:57:52 10/28/02 Mon In reply to: JOSEPH S. WYNN 's message, "Re: SAFETY OF BUS OPERATORS IGNORED PART 2" on 18:19:05 05/30/02 Thu I am a Bus Operator for the Transit Authority for the last five years and the reason I’m writing is because I have had it. Like a wise man once said “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore”. Every year on Halloween, the same old Bullshit, the rampant teens trying to assault us by hitting us with whatever Goddamn thing they can get their hands on The assaults to our hardworking brothers and sisters is endless oh and now they are starting three and four days before Halloween. Quite frankly I’m sick of it and I know Damn well the transit Authority is not doing enough to protect us out there, Today alone I was physically threatened by a customer because I did not pick him up in the middle of the street and mind you I was no where near a bus stop. So he catches up to me at the next bus stop enters my bus with his fists closed threatening to hit me because I didn’t open the door for him. Then on the way back at the same stop some kid launches an Egg at me and if it wasn’t because I closed the door right in the nick of time I would have been hit right in the face. I want Protection For me and My fellow co-workers and I want it Now damn it. This bullshit has gone on long enough. What’s it going to take, do we have to take the law into our own hands and start carrying Guns on the Job. I want to start a rally or something on this issue and I want everyone that reads this to tell me about things that have happened to them on the job. So we can show the transit Authority that this is not just my Problem it is a problem that threatens and affects all members of TWU. Let us put a Stop to this now.
