The head of the bus drivers union was asked about the failure of busses to help evacuees.
He said, "There is nothing in our contract that requires our drivers to work during a hurricane."
LEADERSHIP!! Guliani!!
There is probably some truth to this. Everything in Louisiana is controlled by unions.
"There's nothing in our contract that says we should give a damn about anyone but ourselves and helping out in an emergency, therefore, we won't."
"Don't dare use non-union drivers or the International Skweel Bus Union will sue you!"

-----Whether or not it is in the job description, shouldn't that have gone out the window when human lives were at stake? You dont have to wait to be told when caos is happening and you have the means to save lives. You just have to have common sense. Reminds me of that TV show Chico and the Man. He used to say " Its not my job". Seems like that is all any of them were saying in authoritive positions.

Well... the US taxpayers aren't required to foot his bills now, either.
