Don't blame you CF. My son has been working for the city too. Essential never shows on your pay check !
The thing that pisses me off is the buses cannot leave the yard so why all of a sudden am I essential? How do 4 mechanics in a 2 day shop only work 1 per bus. Its just to screw us because no one else is told to come in and they are all being paid to stay home. And a note on the bottom of the message says if we dont come in unlike others we will have to use our saved days.
 
My job just sent me a message. As of next Tuesday I am being changed to essential and have to return to work. All of my vacation time I had is being taken away from me. The buses will not be running and are not insured till July when everyone else returns. It is a 2 bay shop and they said only 1 person per bus being worked on. There are 4 of us being put to work Try to practice separation. This is all BS as far as I am concerned. So I have good odds of catching this being that area has over 6,000 infected positive by testing so how many really have it that are not tested? A few hundred dead there in the last couple weeks. I am not happy as you can tell.
I think you should insist on the buses being disinfected inside and out before even thinking about working on them. Main thing after that is keep your distance from guys working with you and guys delivering parts as well. Stay safe CF we need you to help pick on Fred.

Right by the short and curlies. One on each side of the bus I guess is the only way to handle it and don't share tools.

You are in a hard spot and would not know what to do in your situation. Dammit CF I'm sorry to here that.
 
Union should get involved about an increase in wages for those having to work. They don't give a crap as they are home safe and sound.
The contract stated regular pay plus time and 1/2 for working. The union met with them and agreed to just straight time meaning 8 hours worked only 8 hours paid.

Does that mean a union rep will be there at all times? Bet it doesn't. Your union sucks for agreeing to that straight pay issue

Got the exhaust all most in might have to cut and weld a little but looking good.
The 3 shops I went to trying to put 2.5" pipe out the back of my car were blowing smoke up my *** it seems to fit just fine.
 
wow, that gass tank is way off center
Only fits one way because of the spare tire. it is centered and can only move a small amount one way or the other. Right side is bigger than the left. Take a closer look at the top sides of the tank in the pictures.
 
This virus has now hit my immediate area. Bad thing is, it was not travel related. The person infected caught it here. Seen it coming. Too many people from out of state traveling through. I can still work, just now I have to decide how much work I want to do. Looking at all the variables before making a decision.
