"saturday and sunday service....
Is not they only service to be cut under Bings' "new vision".
My prediction is no bus system or service.
The layoffs that the unions have been notified of are a lot more far reaching than the media lets on to. The layoffs are not across the board as you would think a sane normal company would do.
Just a few that I will tell you about are - Mechanical supervisory staff levels are around 35 - 23 will be cut. Emergency ddot dispatchers presently 12 - 3 will be left after cuts. fueling and cleaning personnel presently near 37 will be cut to 7, stockroom store keep levels are 23 they are to be cut by 24 which equals -1. These are just a few. there are well over 300 cuts being made. The freepress reported 30 drivers and around a 100 mechanics, over 200 drivers have been notified.
As you see these cuts are either a management scare tactic or the planned ending of service in detroit. No supervisors, no cleaning, no parts will effect service."
Whoever posted this works at ddot. His figures are near right. Do ya think the unions dreamed this up? This is showing the administrations fix, does these changes sound right to you jt1?
