Yeah, you don't sound biased at all there friend. Ya might want to try to camouflage that just a little.
So you think its alright for the city to come to the table with demands that they know from past contracts are strike issues and non negotiable, so that they can than toss those to make it look like they are conceding something, and than claim that because they now made concessions that the union must now accept their real demands without negotiation.
man, i hope yopu are not as easy to fool in your own personal finances.
You may not understand the whole issue of red herrings at these negotiations, but your ignorance of that sort of tactic does not mean it isnt taking place.
Why don't you try understanding what was written and questioned instead of just blatantly tell us what you think of a profession that you obviously know absolutely nothing about.
To suggest that a person who drives a city bus throughout the city intersections eight to ten hours a day and more, often without any substantial break like most people get for lunch and morning and afternoons, while at the same time having to be completely focused and concentrating, never able to daydream or lose that focus for even a miniute, while at the same time watching every single bus stop for waiting pasengers, while at the same time being aware of passengers wanting to get off the bus, while at the same time trying their best to stay on scedule and meet up with connections, is doing an easy job, is in my opinion the height of ignorance. We arent out there driving along on the highway by our lonesome. We are dealing constantly with busy intersections and people every minute of our working day. Many people have tried the job and cannot do it because of the stress factor. I highly doubt that someoine with your attitude would last for one day, if that.
