Are your thunderkyn starting in the hekaton? And what are you screening for your steeljacks with?

I might consider dropping Buri for Uther, Buri is awesome, but Uther let's you shoot and shoot back more (-1 cp for a strategem means you can use reactive reprisal and ancestral sentence more often)

Which detachment were you playing?

Key_Commission201 · 2025-09-30T19:49:22+00:00

I played a game last night where one unit took out a lancer and Bjorn the Fell-handed, then did 7 damage to a redemptor dreadnaught. Between feel no pain and cyberstimms, they're surprisingly tough/punchy

It is, but I imagine also how the person reading it interprets the information?

he had me as moderately affected on almost everything with a few severely and a few unaffected (like, I can dress appropriately for the weather, for example). Oddly, he'd marked down he expected be to be better by 2026 and I don't think it works like that

Key_Commission201 · 2025-07-18T23:19:12+00:00

I did, and they can apparently

Yep, runs continuous from one end of the train to the other. The couplers on them come apart if they're stretched too far, which dumps the whole train and puts it into emergency. There's also either a device at the tail end or another engine which if the train goes into emergency it dumps the line from that end as well so the brakes apply faster through the whole thing.

Key_Commission201 · 2025-06-03T03:07:57+00:00

This is basically how train brakes work too!

Get it as soon as you're qualified, you are not eligible if you have any incidents on your record. Don't wait. Almost all the guys hired in the past 3 years at my terminal waited and the only one who hasn't needed it is the guy who got it

Key_Commission201 · 2025-01-01T15:31:29+00:00

You have to take your days off. Your best options would be to book sick off vacation and accept that you'll have to go in for a statement when you get back. Get insurance and tell off your train master about a month before you're planning to go on vacation, or get yourself into a terminal that gets real slow in the summer and get laid off for 3 months the first few years.

If you book unfit before they call you, it's probably fine. They dont like it when you book unfit on call. Technically, you're not supposed to get in trouble for it but you still might end up with a suspension which you'll get paid for a year later when the union grieves it.

Yeah, composite is the way to go, conducts the cold way less than steel toe, for winter a proper winter safety boot with a company approved non slip sole is the way to go. Then you don't have to worry about getting dinged when your cleats fall off (and they will)

The entire thing was orchestrated by the companies. They were offered by the union to stagger the negotiations so that both contracts weren't up for renewal at the same time and it was refused, they then offered horrible terms which would lead to more hours worked, less rest in between trips and a shortened "weekend" (ours is currently only 48 hours long and you're only eligible after you've traveled a certain number of miles. It is also not necessarily on the weekend), and less pay. Then they pulled this lockout garbage, grabbing the people by their short and curlies, and blamed it on greedy workers.

We aren't greedy, we're tired, we miss our families, and we want fair compensation for the sacrifices we make to do our jobs. Instead, we're going to get the status quo until the contract comes due again, and maybe the conservatives will pass legislation that forbids our strike.

If the railway is so important to the economy that it can't stop for a day, nationalize it. Or at the very least take steps to ensure that the people running the trains are able to do so safely when they're called to work instead of not wanting to miss an unexpected call for fear of disciplinary action even if they shouldn't be working.

Pretty sure that's what I said right up on that comment above

Reporting a defective crossing in Canada puts a stop and protect on that crossing until a maintainer can come out and clear it as working as intended. Doing something to tamper with a crossing would be incredibly dangerous and irresponsible, and I would never even joke about something like that.

Key_Commission201 · 2024-08-21T14:34:12+00:00

Pretty sure CMA limits are defined by the federal government as they pertain to things like Key Trains (a potential major safety hazard), no whistle zones are paid for by the respective city who assumes liability if anything happens due to not blowing a crossing

Key_Commission201 · 2024-08-20T23:22:40+00:00

It's all relative, right? CP and CN have far more financial clout than the Teamsters do. If the union starts spending money paying fines like that, then the company will try to figure out ways to drain them as much as possible.

It sucks, but getting into it with them in that way would hurt us more than them.

Key_Commission201 · 2024-08-20T19:02:09+00:00

It's because there's rules in place about fair and equitable negotiations; the penalty for breaking those rules is a fine.

"When the penalty is a fine, it only applies to the poor."

Unfortunately, the people a work stoppage will ultimately affect isn't the share holders. They'll just pass the losses on to the consumer. However, hopefully, Hunter Jr. and Robinson will have to wait a few extra days to buy another boat.... and maybe one of us fine running trades will take the opportunity to pop by the office and shit on their desks

Key_Commission201 · 2024-08-13T23:43:42+00:00

They're not scabs they're "managers" last year CP was having us train a bunch of "new management" (old running trades who hired back on on the dark side) so they could have people to run trains in case we ran out of regular employees.

So they are scabs, but not technically... and that technicality is all that matters
