On AnchorRides

I really like many of the drivers. I especially like the ones who respect us and speak to us as real people. Cliff, Tony, and some of the drivers such as Pano, talk to us as equals, and like their jobs because of the disabled folks they work with. I have always wondered why they are not earning what the people Mover bus drivers make. People Mover is the name of the public buses that pick people up. Why should the AnchorRides drivers, also in a union, be paid less? You know the answer? It's because even though the job is harder, we are the "throw-aways" and not worth as much. It's a sick thing--the way we are treated. I still care about the drivers, because they are the front lines with us. They get paid less, and we pay more than on a bus, and we earn less. What's the matter with that picture? Koraling Lynne
