Green Line Crash Texting Trolley Driver Officially Fired

Would causing an accident that injured 49 people be reason enough for you to be let go from your job? The MBTA decided that last Friday's Green Line crash was bad enough to fire the operator, who admitted that he had been texting just before the crash. The T union has filed a grievance to protest the cell phone ban issued in the aftermath of the crash.
