CTA Mismanagent: Taking Our Drivers' License Hostage?
Dear 5000 Series CTA Train Operators: Are you giving the manager your Driver’s License in order to “borrow” a Smart Card? Doesn’t it bother you that you must give our employer your personal property in order to do your job? The Smart Card is a tool and CTA Safety Rule #66 states that they must provide the proper tools for the job. Not you. Whatever lazy excuse they have for not providing the Smart Card has no relevance to our part in being accountable to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. What’s next? Will they require you to give them your personal cell phone while using a CTA cell phone and radio? Will they require you to pay a deposit of $0.10 per sheet of paper for those single-track bulletins? Why do you tolerate this blatant disrespect? Post or send your comments. I want to know.
