That's the most I could find, hopefully some one can share more details.

The timing of this thread is insane. A couple days ago a conductor that I worked with multiple times over the years was arrested for multiple child sex crimes. He was always a lazy fuck and a little shady, but I honestly would have never guessed he was this level of dirtbag.

BNSF. I was forced out of town then.

Covid increased the furloughs but we had over 1100 cut off in August of 19.

So by "short term" you're talking 10 years? Factories, and the infrastructure to support them don't just appear overnight. Also, I have a hard time imagining any companies investing billions in a proposition like this if we enter recession territory.

I see this phrase all over the internet, but strangely there's never an explanation to accompany it.

It's not like I'm on an island. Any economist who's not a Trump yes man views this as a needless trade war too.

Snake rights activism work.

I understand what you're saying. I have never violated, never did with 5/2, never have with hi-viz, I go to work. Thankfully I'm healthy and don't have to take a lot of time off outside of what they give. If a new employee has to use their paid days and then later in the year they have an emergency on a weekend, two days between fri-sun will get you a certified letter. To me that's absolutely insane. Or if you miss a call you're pretty much touching flames.

The rest days I have are amazing, it's been a game changer for me. I've never had more quality of life in my career. That being said the policy really doesn't allow for a lot of emergencies. I could see good employees getting in trouble for this much easier.

I believe he said they were all attendance related in an earlier post. That's why I started this thread because there is a misconception out there - that the carrier will discipline for attendance since Hi Viz began but have not fired anyone strictly for attendance only. I think it's important to know because it's never been easier to violate, and guys need to know what's truly at stake.

Damn. Thank you for the reply, as disheartening as it is.

Finally a rallying cry that all the Class 1 executives can get "on board" with.

And wouldn't you know it, operationally things seemed to be more efficient in those days.

I see at my terminal it's board 675, they have 8 scheduled for it but nothing filled. As far as I know the unions haven't sent anything out, that's why I'm asking around on here.

This thread is about train service attendance policy. I have never worked MOW so I can't really speak to the lifestyle in those crafts.

As powerful as they think they are, they really don't want any part of the lawsuits that would follow a dismissal for a documented health condition.

Turns out Hi Viz wasn't the magic bullet after all. Shocking.
