~ The Book of This and That, by Robert Lynd, 1915"

"Created by the Federal Security Agency in the 1940s, "The Operator and Safety" is a bus driver training film. Featuring a Mack CM-G3 transit bus, the film was shot in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and vicinity around 1941. The bus used in the film, number 1822, was part of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit system."

Mobbing

"Psychological terror or mobbing in working life involves hostile and unethical communication which is directed in a systematic manner by one or more individuals, mainly toward one individual."

Mobbing

"Mobbing is “bullying on steroids,” a horrifying new trend whereby a bully enlists co-workers to collude in a relentless campaign of psychological terror against a hapless target.Targets are usually anyone who is “different” from the organizational norm. Usually victims are competent, educated, resilient, outspoken, challenge the status quo, are more empathic or attractive and tend to be women, aged 32 to 55."

Updated  Cyber Bullying/Stalking

Parts of this conversation were previously published September 1, 2015. It's updated.

Tom Sullivan, Trimet Bus Operator

Never met him.

Never had a conversation with him.  

He's the latest to libel me, call me names and make accusations about me publicly in an ATU757 member only Facebook site. As of this date the site has 801 members. The majority are folks I've known for years, either through recognition or friendly banter. Some are co-workers, Some are friends. Some are from outlying properties such as Vancouver or Bend, etc. 

Some are haters. Some signed petitions to Blackball me from my Union, my benefits and representation. 14 signatures - 4 petitions. Except for 3 of 'em, I'd never met or had interactions with the others. We couldn't pick each other out in a room.  I wasn't aware of their existence until after seeing their signatures. A kind Station Agent later showed me their pictures on on the computer. I asked a handful of 'em what happened. According to them, during the afternoon rush-hours, they were asked by Chris Day, John Olsen and Al Margulies (all in uniform) to "sign something for the Union".  They weren't given anything to read, nor did they ask. The Union wouldn't give me the last petition as they were finally refusing to deal with it. Since that time, and on occasion, co-workers approached me saying they too were solicited but refused to sign. How many of 'em were approached with this? 20, 50, 100? Online petitions were posted on Chris Day's and Al Margulies' Blogs polling the general public with questions like, "What type of punishment should she receive?" attached with  it were my name and picture recognition. The viewers of these sites included Trimet employees, management, customers and the general public. Customers were recognizing me on the Bus. Some making comments. I had to drive - it was unsafe but I had to drive. 

Being the target of Cyber Bullying/Stalking it didn't take long for it to evolve into Workplace Bullying/Mobbing. Co-workers like Sullivan didn't ask questions but instead participated in Bullying me.  What's going on here are the results and dangers. 

These were Respectful Workplace and IT violations. Trimet again refused to address it.  Day stole the e-mail list for members of the Black Caucus and sent email out soliciting his petition. One of the recipients asked me about it. Another co-worker's trinet e-mail address was used  to deliver the petition to him.  I reported it to HR. She said policies weren't violated cause he didn't send the info to and from Trimet computers using trinet addresses. But he did and I presented the proof.  She refused to address it until 6 months later when I brought it up again. He was given a reprimand for violating B101 - "Expectations".  He didn't receive the reprimand until months later. He created a hostile environment for me on and off work- violated HR 166, 171, 202.  But they were ignored and I was left to work in an unsafe and hostile environment, on and off the Bus. I was devastated. 

My name got out. No one asked questions. And Tom Sullivan was one of many who used it against me. These were people who didn't question anything. And when it was over and they heard my story, with the exception of 3, not one of them apologized. 

As a result, some members have me blocked from the ATU Facebook Union site. A couple are ATU Executive Board Officers. I don't know them personally or professionally. One of the two (Hernandez) signed a blackball petition against me. The other (Ackerson) used his Executive Board position inappropriately against me. He participated in name calling (screen shot) and supported the originators in their efforts to blackball me. Additionally, he participated in and voted down my request for Arbitration to the E-Board instead of recusing himself from it. I was promised by my Executive Board Officer, Sandra Guengerich that he wouldn't be in the meeting and if he was, he wouldn't have a voice or a vote. He turned the other executive officers against me by telling them that I deserved the reprimands. According to two officers in the meeting, he accused me of "calling (Margulies) names too."  His actions were biased and without merit - due to his friendship with Margulies. His charges against me were unfounded and I proved it by offering a sizable reward. 

We are not done.

He too tried to Bully me off the Union only site. I am limited about what I can write about him, but it will be coming. 

The commonalities against me among these folks is due to online harassment from Bloggers Margulies, Day and Jensen. It's brainwashing. Propaganda, Liable. Using the same words and phrases repeatedly and consistently for years. i.e: "Whack job, paranoid schizophrenic, woman with obvious mental problems, etc...", "Queen of Crazy"

Blog watchers, followers and workplace gossips bought into it as you can see from the screen shot below.  

She wrote this during the first discussion with Sullivan last September. Because she's retired and on a limited income, I recently reached out and attempted to discuss it with her. To see if we could resolve our differences but she started screaming at me, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??"  

I never met her. Never had a conversation with her.  

Notice where she uses the word "They" That's Mobbing.  

Henry Beasley had/has this posted on his Facebook. It's been up for at least a year and 1/2. 

According to my lawyer,  Statute of limitations for liable is 8 years. You only need one (1.) witness. 




From Beasley, it appears to have evolved to Tom Sullivan who, for some reason appointed himself as the one who was gonna get rid of me:  



"You should enjoy your retirement and let that hate you have go."

Screenshot from the Union only FB site. First time he accused me of "hate" and insinuated that I shouldn't be on the site, but should be "enjoying my retirement."

Even after all this time, I find it disturbing that assumably reasonable people, members of the same Union, co-workers -  people holding responsible positions within the Company, folks I've never met, talked with or had experiences with swoop in and try to bully and intimidate me from participating in discussions with them, equally. 

No one asks questions. No one thinks for themselves. 

The desired effects from their efforts to blackball me, although voted down overwhelmingly, passed - at least in some of their minds.  I've had a few people ask me over the years about my membership in the Union. 

 In their world, socially and professionally, I'm not accepted, respected, recognized or considered a part of the workplace and Union membership. People who've never met or talked with me, talk about me disparagingly in front of me on these sites.  

So I
SPEAK OUT
BECAUSE:

David Christensen

Don't know if he still works for Trimet but he's often found conversing on the Union site. Never met or had a conversation with him. He's said things about me like "if she's here, I'm leaving." He also posted derogatory comments about me on Margulies blog.

As you can see, Christensen participates in Al's "Queen of Crazy" campaign.
