When you get people and equipment where they need to go intact, you've done the job right - regardless of complainers, traffic, and the million reasons for running late. As a retired operator once encouraged me: "Remember, you're not late. You're right where you're supposed to be: in the seat, behind the wheel."BusTropicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587539772114462081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653698584448495601.post-34184174457757210062017-07-25T21:35:22.051-07:002017-07-25T21:35:22.051-07:00Anonymous has a good point.

If each driver writes an incident up against management and presents it to OSHA or other gov't boards perhaps someone will listen. By doing this Management cannot threaten you for having tattled on them. Like a little kid they would maybe try to hide and stay away from OSHA. Enough reports would put pressure on management once they realize other agencies are watching the bad behaviors and now have to come up with remedies to the slave driving acts they are doing. It hasn't been tried yet, the Union appears dead, so what we got to lose here? Try this out and see if we raise the dead to actions.

Sadly, something horrible will happen and the operator will be the sacrificial lamb. Hopefully, they will expose the truth that it was the pressures of being on time and the fear of punishment that caused whatever happened to happen. Lawsuits and audits are the only things that get these people in their "Ivory Tower" to somewhat listen. The questions I ask over and over are: Where is the union? Why are they allowing their dues paying members to be treated this way? Why are they not screaming from mountain tops about this dangerous pressure cooker, ticking timebomb environment? What happened to "Safety before Schedules"? With the economy getting better and better why would anyone want to work there? Lets take an already stressful job and see how much worse we can make it. The union in my opinion is the more negligent party allowing this to go on. They blame everything on a certain "union buster" that was hired however, they are busting themselves. How is any of this even legal? What does the state, OSHA, BOLI, DMV, anybody have to say? Are they all bought off?

I finally would put painters tape over the 'late' time, which allowed me to refocus on traffic. I can't imagine being called into a meeting for being late. My heart goes out to the operators.
