Road Control Slap in the Face!
We were notified yesterday that the Transit Authority plans on eliminating 10 Road Dispatcher posts between the five Boroughs for the 2025 pick. Not only is this is a disgrace and an absolute slap in the face to all Supervisors it’s dangerous to the bus operators we supervise and the public at large.
In a time when bus operator assaults and harassments are at an all time high the genius’s at the Transit Authority have decided to make matters worse by there planed cuts to Dispatcher ticks. Reducing Dispatchers from the road will absolutely makes the job of a bus operator more dangerous, because if buses are running later now due to not being adjusted when running late, that sets into motion a more upset public that takes their anger out on the only person that they can, the bus operator.
And to make matters worse, their are no plans to cut any managers! You got to be shittin’ me!
We are not taking this lightly as we see this as a threat to the future of the Supervisors position and we will be meeting next week with those at 2 Broadway to further this argument and discussion.
