Excerpt:

"The fact that our mayor doesn’t even know the site address just proves that the Unions fears are well founded- people aren’t accessing the “other side�.

**************

First off, the UTU doesn't even have an e-mail address on their website. You want to talk about not willing to accept input? That is a very telling omission on the UTU site.

I'll tell you why I suppose that Rotkin doesn't know the UTU website's addy on demand.

The UTU site is mainly a bunch of comical, insubstantial crap, that's why.

If you need real, USABLE info to conduct the affairs of the city, the UTU site is certainly not a place to get it.

Get a load of that picture with the bus driving through water. The whole image is that the bus drivers are intrepidly going through terrible hardship for the ridership.

Please.

Why don't they show the 23,000 riders left on the curb with no warning? Why don't they show the handicapped in wheelchairs waiting for the bus that never came. Wy don't they show the paystub of the drivers making $70k a year and place it beside the paystub of the riders making $15k a year?

The Metro site, on the other hand has plenty of e-mail portals, and lots and lots of calmly presented, well-reasoned information.

What puzzles me is why Rotkin didn't fire the wimpering simpletons of the UTU the minute they left 23,000 riders stranded on the curb with zero warning.
