Pay Us For The CTA Rodeo!

For many years, CTA workers have participated in CTA-sponsored events. None are more significant than the"CTA Jamboree," "Rodeo" (or Roadeo).  This event has some of the most-skilled workers in ATU bargained for jobs show off their abilities. However, they are not paid for doing their work on this day.  That is disrespectful. Although we earn rightfully-deserved attention for our skills, we are also helping the CTA look good for public relations. There is no reason why we should not be paid for doing our work—and doing promotions for our employer—at this event! Although mine is not the first grievance—nor the last—about this topic, I hope that this one will make them pay attention to their disrespectful conduct.  I highly recommend that everyone who participates file their own grievance too. The more noise we make, the better off we will be in the end. Please feel free to post comments below.
