Not an easy job at all

WMATA is a good system...Does metro hire you as a part-time or full-time operator after training?
-
A bunch of thugs and ex-offenders that hate dealing with the public. And management is always talking fare-increase...why not stop these non-performing, unhelpful, lazy drivers from earning 100K for doing nothing but getting nasty and rude with the passengers? They are a joke!!!

i agree with you eass4170....if you don't like the conditions where your at, then quit dumbass. jesus, this is why people are the way they are nowaday's. no one wants to suck it up and do the fucking job. yes, it sucks sometimes. but i myself being out of work for more than a year, finally finding a job...i'm damned glad i have one now in this economy. and i don't complain.
i deliver auto parts, and i deal with just as many assholes as these people do...i just keep going....

We really don't have leverages.
Upon hiring, the first two papers I signed were the mandatory union membership application and a Non-Strike agreement.
What power does a union have that can't strike?
-
Agreed.
Unfortunately, when you get hired at Metro, they force you to join a union.
I'm a member of Local 689, the producers of this video. They take over $50 a month out of my paychecks and I don't see anything in return except for Obama propaganda... I'm pretty sure they used some of that union money to donate to his campaign too.

Metro trains you on the routes at the bus garage you're going to work at. The assignment you get is based on seniority--so it depends on what's left after everybody else has picked their run/extra board assignment.
