FamousNYLover Posted July 20, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2012 Good Afternoon! Please join us for an upcoming Press Conference this Thursday at Hempstead Bus Terminal! Details: Bus Riders’ Union to Highlight Problems with NICE Bus Service for Disabled Riders on Anniversary of the ADA Where: Rosa Parks Bus Terminal Intersection of Jackson St and Station Plaza in Hempstead When: Thursday, July 26th, 2012 at 11:00am This Thursday marks the 22nd anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, transportation, State and local government, public and private accommodations, and communication. Access to transportation is fundamental to the independence and full community participation of disabled people. The Long Island Bus Riders' Union will hold a press conference at the Hempstead Transit Center to celebrate the Birthday of the ADA and to highlight the need for improvements for Nassau County’s disabled riders. We will present Veolia with a graded report card, detailing the existing system and highlighting improvements that must be made. -- *********************** Charlene Obernauer Executive Director Long Island Jobs with Justice 390 Rabro Drive Hauppauge, NY 11788 631-348-1170 ext. 304 631-348-1180 631-252-4221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted July 23, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 23, 2012 We will present Veolia with a graded report card, detailing the existing system and highlighting improvements that must be made. Are you actually meeting with Veolia Brass or is this like a protest? Presenting with a report card... And telling them what changes must be made!?! This I'll have to see! Hopefully you'll put this on Youtube... Any chance you can send me the report card and changes you are demanding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrstone Posted July 23, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2012 That's exactly what I want to know... (read like something you see on a sitcom...) Transit Union: "We DEMAND.....ABC...XYZ..." NICE: "No." Transit Union: "Well, this is awkward." LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted July 23, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 23, 2012 Well, NICE does have all the power and unless they're given more money or are sued by the ADA or the Union, they have no reason to negotiate with the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted July 23, 2012 Share #6 Posted July 23, 2012 Well in this situation they have all the power if meeting with this union. However, I don't agree with the part that they don't have any reason to negotiate with the people. In this situation they lack the power because they are just the middle man providing a service with the money and equipment they are given. They have to provide this service within their means. Don't you think Veolia would love to operate a topline system with state of the art equipment that never has a breakdown? If Nassau County and the taxpayers are not willing to reach into their pocket to provide it do you feel a private company should reach into their profits (and I'm talking worldwide company profits not what their making off this deal) to fund it?
