I haven't been here n a while, came back 2 c wat was happen'n & I c tht u had a mtg with the DOL. Wanted 2 know how it went b/c I got a letter (list# in 460s) during the Summer. I wrote 2 transit 2 request a specific reason y I wasnt hired & got a response tht they look @ certain qualifications (med, criminal, & work history) wen hiring. Well, it seemed funny tht I was disqualified 4 those reasons since my medical & work history were never submitted. I do have an OLD misdeameanor conviction but look'n @ the former bank robber who got hired, I look like an angel.

I recall hearing a train conductor talk'n 2 sumone who he hadn't seen in a while and the guy asked him "how did u get on with Transit & you served 5 yrs in prison". How can they be considering criminal records when they are steadily hiring felons (some with violent offenses).

So, I guess I am part of the rule.

Anywho, I didn't press the issue after I got the letter b/c I know how BIG businesses operate. $$$$ talks.

Sealteam1962, how's everything? Haven't your response about the petition thing on the 1 in 3 rule, anyway here's one thing we can do first. Write to the NYCTA and ask them to restore your name to the list. It's an option and it's mentioned in the 1 in 3 rejection letter we got.

We got to move on this. Something doesn't look right. Did you notice that in all the years we were monitoring people on the list before ours, what was going on at Livingston Street, and DCAS we never heard anybody mention this 1 in 3 rule then all of a sudden here it is???? I don't get it.

Sealteam: Last we communicated you said you had been let go because of the 1 in 3 rule. Just want to check with you to see how far into the hiring process you were just before you got the 1 in 3 letter. As far as me, I'm looking into consulting a lawyer about this.

Guys, (and gals) let's think out of the box! Email or call your State Senator to hurry up and approve funds for New York City Transit so they can start hiring again and avoid the pay cuts and layoffs. Transit is too big to fail! Remind them that they need to (with all due respect) put their rears in gear and do what's right if they want our vote. Peace!
