[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who think the employee was the problem:

Barry Hobson, the chief of staff for the Metro workers union — Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 — said in a statement the Metro employee was taking her meal break while in transit from one assignment to another. The statement notes operators have "an average of 20 minutes to consume a meal and get to their next access point to ensure all buses and trains are on time, safe, and ready to serve the riding public.”

Well then that needs to be addressed in the CBA.
But as a union worker, I can smell the typical  BS a mile away. It’s his job to cover for his people. It makes them all look bad when a member is called out.[/quote]
Give me a break there are a lot of rules that are rules for the public but are different for employees.
Cops can  run red lights on the way to A service call
And ambulance can run a red light on the way to device call
I’ve been in lots of doctors offices in which the public is not allowed to use their cell phones but the employees are allowed to use their phones
Been to plenty of public buildings where it says restrooms for employees only
There are plenty of circumstances,  contexts, environments in which there are separate rules for those who work there and those who patronize there 
if you don’t know the difference,  if you don’t get it that’s on you[/quote]

Exactly! How many of you are taking pics of cops running red lights, speeding, etc then sending the pics in to get them fired? [/quote]
A black officer speeding or running a red light is rushing to help. Why would I take a pic of that?[/quote]

How do you know he is black? How do you know he is rushing for help?

Do you take a picture of the flight attendant standing up when the fasten seat belt light is on? [/quote]

No. In both cases they are doing their jobs. The black flight attendant is doing their job.[/quote]

But you aren’t allowed to stand up and run red lights. The metro employee was on her way to her job with a 20min break. They allow her to eat on the train. She was doing her job. [/quote]

Running red light / standing during flight - part of their jobs
Chowing down on a hot plate? Not[/quote]
