Nashville’s city bus drivers and fleet mechanics are raising concerns about maintenance problems and workplace safety, and they are likely to stage a protest one day next week at the peak of rush hour.
Patrick Green, president of the local Amalgamated Transit Union 1235, said the members were issuing a vote of “no confidence” on Thursday regarding two top leaders of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s maintenance department.
He says the department is understaffed by more than a dozen employees — and inadequately trained.
