Sept 16 2015 update MBTA has 280 "heavy rail operators" - they drive the trains on the Blue, Red, and Orange lines
MBTA also has 1,740 bus drivers the total number of bus drivers and rail operators is 2,500 Much higher numbers of T employees have access to family leave versus other agencies - per recent Herald article ====================================== posted previously on this Bat channel http://www.mass.gov/governor/docs/news/mbta-panel-report-04-08-2015.pdf 12% absenteeism - peer agencies have 5% - see pages 26 and 27 High Absenteeism ▪ A prominent example of weak MBTA management is excessive absenteeism. – 15% of all MBTA employees took at least one day of paid leave during the 2015 winter storm recovery. – Tens of thousands of bus trips are cancelled each year due to unplanned absence ----------------------------------- 1,000 buses - approx 785 buses on the road at peak hours - 1200 FT drivers - 300 PT drivers Something does not add up here - unless FT drivers work five 12 hour shits every week - that would be 70 hours per week. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
