@pbaatu508shane @ATU_508 @MikeSavageHFX Absolutely a supreme slap to the face of every driver who was actually out there working during the pandemic. These clowns should be embarrassed of themselves for accepting it.

Halifax Council gets Platinum Award for working through pandemic?
ATU members get pulled in for sick time?
457 days expired contract?
Transit workers, front line heroes to zeroes!
We deserve better!
Forced OT for the pandemic and Council gets rewarded?

@Peter_Greathead @pbaatu508shane @Smorgasbord183 @ATU_508 @hfxtransit I’m just curious… what routes were they driving? How many days were they forced back to do extras? Hope they didn’t use any sick time. Such fucking heroes! #fromazero #hrmisfucked #howdotheylookatthemselves

@ATU_508
Halifax Transit bringing 100 or more operators in for earned sick time and still asking for notes!
Overworked!
Flu season!
Cold season!
Front line!
Pandemic still on.
Discipline for sick time does not fix sick time!

@Smorgasbord183 @ATU_508 @hfxtransit Halifax Transit workers are being passively harassed by a senior manager who retired and was brought back under contract to meet with and ask for sick notes. That's what Transit workers get for working through the pandemic.

Really? This is happening! Are you going to shoot back & allow this? @newsbag @LindellSmithHFX @communitycathy @SamAustinD5 @David_Hendsbee @pattycuttell11 @HRMLovelace @KathrynMorseHRM

Over 100 Transit workers hauled in for disciplinary meetings for using EARNED sick time during a pandemic, wonder why there's a driver shortage? @MikeSavageHFX

It's the $$ & the work forcing us away. We can drive something else for less $$ & bring home more $$ to our families as we'd be paid for our full work day. Stop changing our work to split shifts & you'll have reliable Transit #plsRT #Halifax #Dartmouth #NovaScotia #hfxtransit

I didn’t all of a sudden start making extra money I’ve just cancelled cable, home phone and a street light to maybe keep buying groceries for my kids cause they like to eat and be alive

[Sarah Spencer @BowChickaB]

Women shouldn’t need to share a traumatic story or personal experience in order to justify the need for anything - which includes health care! Stop making women feel like they don’t deserve to be alive! Ffs we matter!

[Buzz D River @Buzz_D_River]

Time to shake up Transit mgmt. Find someone who is actually interested in growing our system into the proper operation it’s capable of being. Also 1 mgmt type for every 6 Transit employees? Who’s EVER heard of that? Think of the $ for salaries…unless they’re only making $21/hr!

Transit director blames staffing crisis on a Grey Wave
Jan-Jul, 22 retired, ½ of those took early retirement due to working conditions. An additional 40 quit. That's not a Grey Wave, people don't leave good jobs, they leave intolerable working conditions

Tax dollars are wasted, if you don't solve the problems causing experienced drivers to leave & hire new drivers who leave b/c the problems still exist. #betterwork #betterwages for healthy Transit #plsRT #Halifax #Dartmouth #Bedford #Sackville #NovaScotia #hfxtransit

@ATU_508 @MikeSavageHFX @TimOuthit @WayeMason @StoddardIona @TonyMancini_NS @SackvillePaul @beckykentHRM That’s funny. Not one of them will step up and even listen.

Transit has dropped the extra cleaning protocols implemented during COVID, endangering our members and passengers. https://t.co/IJKHCI16HY

@shortpresents Good thing your life is about you and not everyone else! You do you.

@BusBunnies @neilsenglenn @jvangurp @st_mack People are funny Hal. They don’t know you or your background but because you have that you drive bus for a living now that that is all there is to you. If people only knew your story. Have a good day sir!

[ATU Local 508 @ATU_508]

Find mgmt who respects the employees & make work better, offer work/life balance. Won't fix the staffing prob 'til you fix the shifts/job Make Transit a choice career again #Halifax

@ATU_508 @MikeSavageHFX @TimOuthit @WayeMason @StoddardIona @TonyMancini_NS @SackvillePaul @beckykentHRM All of the current issues with transit come from poor management and from what i see on social media the public is realizing this. Major management change needed, employees deserve better.
