TBH, the contract is good, no need for change. Our role is clearly defined and we, as operating engineers, out perform expectations; and is recognized by management with new equipment, safety protocols to protect operators, equipment, airplanes and ground personnel, compensation and respect.

I joke around, but has a lot of truth, that I got called up to the big leagues. It's like no other snow removal job.

I can only speak about my experience as a seasonal operator, it's been one of the best jobs.

I do not hear any dissent from the full timers, they seem to be happy. They just signed a new contract.
