I told everyone why I left and it is no secret. I couldn't work with all the diesel fumes at East NY that the MTA refused to do anything about. That was because of my asthma. It also very much bothered my Chief Dispatcher who also had asthma. Then I learned that other workers also had problems. I asked for proof and within 24 hours I had affidavits from a dozen other employees whom I did not even know. I submitted this to my boss, mistakenly thinking that he cared because I liked him.

He didn't believe the claims and brought in OSHA to prove to me the air was safe to breathe. I asked the inspector for the results. He said "if the filter turns grey in 30 minutes, it means the air is unsafe. This filter turned black in five minutes." My boss never told me the results, but immediately transferred me and 6 of my 12 employees to Jay Street combining Rapid and Surface Planning and that was the beginning of Operations Planning with only 35 employees. He was afraid of a possible lawsuit I presume.

So my transfer had nothing to do with my abilities but was due to the MTA's unwillingness to provide a safe working environment for its employees.
