Narrative:
During outbound push, mem ATCT requested that air carrier bring out all of their spot 4 and 5 wbound traffic out spot 6 to reduce possible runway incursions due to the fact that taxiway V was closed. Air carrier ramp tower would not comply. Therefore, aircraft had to cross an active runway 3 times -- which I feel is unsafe.
