I made a mistake in saying the UTU's website was insubstantial.
It has improved greatly since I lasst saw it.
The picture of the bus splashing through the water is gone.
There are more ways to contact them.
There is more substantive information on their website.
Good for them.
On the other hand, if Mayor Rotkin is directly meeting with Boonie Moor, head of the UTU, on a near daily baisis, why would he need to go to the UTU website?
So, it doesn't "prove" that the Metro is out of touch because Mayor Rotkin doens't know the UTU website address at heart.
I still maintain that the busdrivers get what is most certainly a very fair compensation for their driving efforts, especially given that they didn't have to have any specialized education, apprenticeship, or investment; and also since they have been gioven the very special privilege of being a county-protected monopoly, and becuase thye are a union. They have been given special, tremendous powerws by Santa Cruzians, and they have betrayed that trust.
To leave 23,000 people stranded on the curbside iwht NO WARNING is grounds for immediate dismisal.
