The MBTA’s Fiscal and Management Control Board met again Monday 6/13 to explore more ways to privatize parts of the MBTA. This meeting focused on the stock rooms.
589 President Jimmy O’Brien, several members of Local 589, Local 264 Business Agent Craig Hughes, as well as Local 103 President Lou Antonellis all questioned the savings and accountability privatization would bring. The other point that was repeatedly made was why it was being privatized at all since the problems are due to mismanagement for years.
Here are a few links to more reports from the meeting.
