Stop Greed—Return Compassion

We believe that the large, steadily increasing income gap between TriMet’s top-level managers and TriMet’s front line workers is toxic. It has killed these managers’ compassion and empathy for employees, passengers and the community. It has created a pattern of self-serving behavior in which executives and a handful of top technical people continue to receive over-budget salary increases while the majority of workers – union and non-union alike – sees no raises at all.
