DESCRIPTION:    ATU 192 AC bus drivers will be protesting at the AC Transit HQ over 
 harrassment and\n    mismanagement of the bus agency.\n\nATU 192 Transit 
 Union Bulletin\n8460 Enterprise Way\nOakland, CA 
 94621-1318\n(510)635-0192\n\nTakin' It To The Streets!\nAugust 29, 2006- 
 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM\nRally at 1600 Franklin St.\nOakland, CA\n\nProtest AC 
 Transit Assault\nOn Workers & Riders\n\nThe Amalgamated Transit Union, 
 Local 192 is fed up with the humiliating treatment of transit workers and 
 riders by AC Transit Management-and we will no longer be silent! We are 
 calling on all transit workers to join us in a day of protest on Tuesday, 
 August 29th-starting at 10:30 AM at AC Transit Offices at 1600 Franklin 
 St.\n\nAC Transit Violates Our Contract, the Law, and our Dignity\n\n* AC 
 managers misuse public funds by pursuing many unnecessary legal actions 
 against workers.\n*AC blatantly violates several sections of our contract 
 like requiring doctor's notes for one day sick when the contract clearly 
 requires a note on the third day\n*Maintenance crews are constantly 
 understaffed and replacement parts are unavailable to maintain safe 
 buses.\n*AC considers Kin Care absences a violation of the attendance 
 policy\n*AC drives up the cost of health care with its demands for more 
 unnecessary doctor's visits and paperwork. Administrative cost already eat 
 up 35-40% of health care costs.\n*AC refuses to provide adequate lunch 
 breaks for bus drivers. They want to remove our layover time and call it 
 "lunch"-if we're lucky enough to get it at all!\n*AC still considers 
 stinking, unsafe Port-a-Potties adequate bathroom facilities for 
 drivers.\n\nUnsafe Buses, Unjust Fare and Transfer Policies Hurt 
 Riders\n\n*AC has the highest fares and most restrictive transfer policy in 
 the Bay Area despite the poorest rider-ship no BART Plus\n*New Van Pool 
 buses are unsafe for seniors and disabled riders while bad driver's seats 
 and suspension hurt drivers.\n*Constant service cuts and route changes 
 disrupt rider's and operator's lives. \n
