I had an amazing marathon of service to coworkers on the Red, Brown, Blue, Green and Orange lines on Wednesday and Thursday.

Today is the dreadful ”Executive Bored Meeting.”
Hopefully, our Secretary-Treasurer won’t throw another temper tantrum about my questions and snatch the receipts from me (it’s disgusting that I am the only union rep who reviews how our money is spent).

There should be no concessions from us. The managers have our short-term disability benefit plus paid sick leave. But we only have short-term disability. That ain't fair!

Pennie n Mark couldn’t throw me out of office with Section 22 charges or police, so she just bans me from representing members, bans me from her Executive Bored meetings. Basically , she has UNELECTED me
If this offends you, let her and the International President know!

Here’s something you may not know exists at the CTA: Single, CTA workers that do 40+ hours a week, but depend on Medicaid and Food Stamps.

Thank Heavens, no police were called in the crashing of this parade. I don't mean to be a pest, but my coworkers and I deserve to have #PaidSickLeave AND Short-Term Disability, just like the CTA president. We definitely don't deserve to be punished and fired when we get sick.

Hate me if you want, but Trxmp has nothing to do with our responsibility to take control over our communities, schools and workplaces.
Neither does any other elected dope in a suit.

I spend most of my waking hours with men and women who struggle for dignity in service to the people of Chicago. Despite our differences, we move this city. That's a family. Any manager who harms them, harms me. There is no exception.
