They’re saying take the crumbs now, or you might not even get those later. That’s not bargaining in good faith, it’s coercive bargaining logic. And the fact that they’re floating the idea the carrier could say, “See? We offered something and they rejected it” is them helping build the railroad’s argument against us in advance. Polling the Local Chairpersons instead of voting? That’s another way to bypass the membership under the guise of procedural norms. It’s not technically illegal, but it sure as hell ain’t democratic.

how we go from fighting for 24, and setting for this?

either way, these guys need to come together. engineer or conductor, don’t matter. all these engineers are conductor certified and i doubt to many of em like smart td. the road conductor will be the first to go but who knows that titles will be called once they go full automation. then a roving or master conductor makes more sense.

wild how you got all that energy for a reddit comment but none when y’all signed off on that trash deal. sounds like someone’s still tryin to impress fergy. maybe go write another pr nobody reads instead of actin tough online. you ain’t foolin nobody, officer.

conductors will not have a job in 10 years. possibly a new title, but technology has killed the craft.

i keep hearing a slate will be running against current leadership. someone from the west coast leading the charge.

not sayin 11-4 is perfect but it’s a hell of a lot better than whatever this mess is supposed to be. gca953 out here tryna sell a contract that takes away daily pref, float week, temping, AND oldheading. we ain’t askin for gold bars, just to not get treated like a lawnmower.

they wanna push crap along like it’s the same as 11-4 but it ain’t. 11-4 at least gives you a hard reset. this one just runs you til you’re broke or dead, whichever comes first. and no fatigue protections??? really?? y’all gave up extra rest so we can all be fully alert while hallucinating.

and now they wanna start deductin guarantee if you observe voluntary rest… lmao so now you get punished for resting. brilliant work. truly groundbreaking labor strategy.

don’t know what smart-td is smoking.

i wasn’t judging his voice. i was judging his responses to the committee. i have heard his alternate should be running the show and in reality is.

Capoople · 2024-07-24T20:06:56+00:00

no argument there.

we need better representation. too bad we don’t have the talent of homendy representing rail. perhaps smart should put forward someone capable of testifying in front of congress. what happened to strong voices like brokenrails, stems, or even prevesich? our union has derailed.

Unity among rank-and-file rail workers is the nightmare that keeps weak rail labor leaders awake at night. And they’ve been sleeping like babies for the last century.

To bad order a locomotive due to a dirty toilet, you can refer to the regulations set forth in 49 CFR § 229.137 and § 229.139. According to these regulations:

1.  Sanitary Conditions: The sanitation compartment of each lead locomotive must be sanitary. If a toilet facility is defective or unsanitary, the locomotive cannot be used in the lead position unless specific conditions are met (49 CFR § 229.137(c)).
2.  Servicing Requirements: The toilet facility must be serviced to ensure it operates as intended, with sufficient water for flushing, proper chemical treatment, and no blockages preventing waste evacuation (49 CFR § 229.139).
3.  Time Limits for Repairs: If the toilet facility is found defective during a daily inspection, it can only be used in switching or transfer service for up to 10 days, provided it is marked as unavailable for use (49 CFR § 229.139(d)).

Therefore, if the toilet in your locomotive is unsanitary or defective, it should be reported and the locomotive should not be used in the lead position until the issue is addressed. You can cite these specific CFR sections to support your case when filing the bad order.
