public transportation
by signing this bill, ALL Federal funding for Public transportation, 45 million for our bus system, since federal funding is dependent on Employees receiving collective bargaining rights. Over 500 people at Madison Metro will be affected, when we are required to “completely restructure” the transit system. This means cutting routes, upkeep, and most importantly—- eliminating mechanics, janitorial, office staff…and making ALL driver’s positions part-time, thereby eliminating the need to offer any benefits at all.
Thanks so much for bringing the noise to Tumblr. I live in MN and work with the North East Area Labor Council. Just want to let you know that we're thinking of all of you and we're standing with you.
A bunch of us have been coming over the border to help out with the demonstrations, I'm headed to Madison tomorrow to join the fun as well.
Keep up the great blogging! :)
Thank you so much for the solidarity. I’m an AFL-CIO child so I know how important this is for people. The mask that Scott put on this bill can not be denied. Thank you so much for the solidarity from MN, hope to see you soon!
