Does Trimet intentionally cheat union employees out of wages?

It is alleged that Trimet has intentionally created a situation where Trimet operators don't get paid for extra  time at the job which is not included in the schedule

This has been accomplished by a lack of information to operators and cumbersome procedures that end up discouraging operators from claiming wages that they are due

This unpaid time actually amounts to millions of dollars over the years.

TRIMET: A QUESTION OF ETHICS

The mainstream media enjoys running stories about transit snafus, especially the mistakes that bus and rail operators fall into. Bus operator is one of the most misunderstood professions in America. Its very easy to make mistakes when operating a transit vehicle.

What the mainstream media hardly gives any notice to is the behavior and foul ups of the people running the bureaucracy. Very few stories appear in the mainstream about management screw ups

And there has been no comprehensive coverage looking deep into management culture at Trimet.
This article looks at some of the stories that concern the executive culture at Trimet

The  question that should be asked is can we trust the people in charge of our transit system to do the right thing?

The short answer is no:
