If anyone does say Limburger, just bear in mind what a friend of mine has said on that cheese: The stronger it smells, the better it tastes....<br /><br />Well, maybe that's not much help either. I'd think limburger would be better than 'goat cheese'.Doug Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661429832655198314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35666868.post-68236551690493976792010-09-04T08:13:13.723-05:002010-09-04T08:13:13.723-05:00Sunny sez...

What about the RTA continuing with the existing Monona bus contracts but enhancing the hours, locations and making the fare be transferable to any other operating bus company? Facts are much more powerful than fear - thanks Doug for using your furlough time to further address the issue and thanks to Alder Munson for his efforts in support of Monona transit!Robin Schmidtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35666868.post-49637641484919751262010-09-03T12:27:54.622-05:002010-09-03T12:27:54.622-05:00Doug,

I've also been doing some digging on the Fair Labor Standards Act, and from what I can tell, the FLSA only applies to employer-employee relationships. The RTA isn't going to be an employer, per se, but rather a funding mechanism and a consortium regulator. Furthermore, the FLSA is only applicable to enterprises dealing with interstate commerce and the production of goods. As far as I know, the RTA won't be carrying people across state lines and certainly won't be manufacturing anything. I've got a call into a couple of labor attorneys to see if I can get further clarification on this matter.<br /><br />I've got to believe that with all governmental fingers that are in the RTA pie, someone would have piped up by now if the FLSA was going to be such a problem. I'm fairly certain that Madison doesn't want another, larger version of their bus-driver-overtime-pay fiasco.<br /><br />ScottScott Munsonnoreply@blogger.com
