Rocky Mountain News PHOTO by News' Jose R Lopez: A driver sits at the wheel of a city bus. He is looking over his right shoulder and beside him you can see the farebox. Caption reads: Herbert Fletcher says Kimball is reaping a harvest for himself. [Headline] Kimball hike fuels discord in RTD ranks By Norman Draper, News Staff. A 10 percent salary increase of Regional Transportation District Executive Director L.A. Kimball has added salt to the festering strike wounds of RTD employees. "It's pretty bad timing," said four-year driver Alan Hill, who was among the random sample of RTD drivers and mechanics interviewed Friday. "He (Kimball) kept talking about us making too much money, so he must really be making too much money. Kimball orchestrated a public relations campaign during the recent RTD strike, stressing that union workers were overpaid. RTD's board of directors announced Thursday that Kimball's salary would be raised from the current $65,000 to $71,500 a year. The raise is retroactive to Sept. 14. Kimball also was given an extra $7,200 to buy a house in the Denver area. "It's disgusting" said a driver who declined to be named. "In these days of austerity I don't think anybody should get a 10 percent raise." RTD board Chairman Lowell Hutson said Kimball was awarded the raise because of his efficient running of the district, his successful negotiation of a union contract and improvement in worker morale. "He deserved it said Sondra Lewis who has been driving buses for five years. "He did a good job giving the royal shaft to the drivers." One driver call Hutson's remark about morale "Baloney." Other drivers agreed: "I've been driving buses for 36 years and I've never seen it (morale) so low, " said veteran driver Bob Sebern. "You can't really hold somebody else's wages down and reap the harvest for yourself" said nine-year veteran driver Herbert Fletcher. In the RTD garage at 350 S Santa Fe Drive, someone had taped about 30 photocopies of a newspaper article detailing the pay hike to lockers throughout the maintenance area. Above the article were the words, "Plucking the bucks?" "I'm trying to buy a house now," said a mechanic who wouldn't give his name. But I didn't see the board loaning me money for it. Most people are sick to their stomach about the way the situation was handled. RTD bus drivers, mechanics and clerical workers were on strike July 12 when negotiations with RTD for a new contract stalled. They returned to work Aug.9 after a contract was approved by the 1,375 member Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1001. The contract awards RTD's union employees an average 4.5 percent yearly increase over three years. RTD's 1983 budget includes average 6 percent merit increases for the management staff.
