A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago. Buses came by, not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.
The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question. To her surprise, he then closed the door, on her arm, and drove off.
The woman, her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too were shouting.
When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.
After the driver’ s bossed at a tax-support governmental company(CTA) heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension (停职) without pay. That struck me as rather light.
But Bill Baxa, the company’ s public-relation man, "That’ s a pretty serious punishment.
Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a terrible punishment. The driver make $14 an hour. Multiply(乘)that by 40 and you can see that he lost."
Yes, that come to $560, a good sum. But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week’ s pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting suggestion: Give me a bus. Then have their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I’ 11 slam the door shut, shut the bus quickly and take them for a fast one block run.
And I’ll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr Baxa? Anyone?
I didn’t think so.
