At least once a week, I am driving on a two-lane city street and someone crosses the double yellow line to pass me.

This is dangerous increasingly common behavior. #ROC

This has been corrected and the updated Runguides are on our website https://t.co/0c4Lqk4Bdf.
The posted Runguides at RTS will be updated soon.
There are no changes to the paddles.

The company is required to give you paid time off if your appointment time conflicts with your work time including travel.

[ATU Local 282 @ATUlocal282]

This paid leave is not retroactive for past vaccines.

If you have a scheduled vaccine in the future let your supervisor know in advance.
