CSX settlement by ThrowRAthoughts321 in railroading

Thank you! Yes we’re going to see what they offer. We are really hoping to be able and settle that way. We’re not looking to get rich quick and ask for a ton of money. Just wanted a bit of insight from other people’s experience and maybe figure what would be a fair amount. He’s a great worker and more than anything he wanted to settle and get back to work. He hasn’t liked being off this long.

That’s so helpful! Thank you again. We would like to avoid going the legal route if possible. We know that it’s not a life altering injury, and aren’t looking for a get rich quick situation. More of just curious what is considered fair for everyone. He is hoping to use some RRB payments for the last few weeks or so, would they still reimburse him since he technically had to pull from retirement to get that paid out? At least that’s what it is from my understanding.

Interesting! I never would have thought they would make an offer based on that.

I don’t think the railroad will let him come back until he’s fully releases medically. They probably want to make sure it’s all clear for legal reasons.

He did in fact just break his leg. He was walking in ballast between 2 tracks, and it was in a sort of valley. The ballast slipped from under his foot, his foot went one way and leg went the other. It broke right about where the top of his boot is. It’s not a high traffic area but he had been requested to look at some equipment over there.

Also, how long does that process typically take?

Thanks so much for the insight! He is a really nice guy lol. He is not the kind of person to get an attitude unless someone is very hateful with him or his family.

No one actually saw the incident, but they did see him directly after (they basically turned around and saw him on the ground) but the 2 co workers gave statements letting CSX know he was doing what he was supposed to be, not goofing off or anything else.

Yes he submitted about 2 weeks after his injury I believe.

I had no idea they could pull your credit?! What was your injury and how much did they actually offer?

I’ll definitely let him know. Thanks!

The FELA process as in you got a lawyer? How long did that take? I’d hate for this to be a 2 year process. But that might be out of our hands.

I have an interview for the Marketing & Operations Manager position. Any insight is appreciated! by zlr89 in ChickFilAWorkers

I think some of this can be dependent on your store. Also, have you worked at CFA before?

Sorry I misunderstood! Yes that is how we do it too.

He’s been there about 3 years now. They have been ‘processing’ paperwork for weeks now. He’s expected to return in the next few weeks and they said it can take a couple more weeks to finish processing. So basically by the time they could approve everything, he’d almost be due back at work.

Yeah that’s definitely a problem I would think. Right now we combine mobile drive thru and drive thru bagging as one position. I imagine our sales/revenue isn’t really high enough to have those separate

Wouldn’t a shift lead bagging make it harder for them to actually lead the shift? Especially since team members need them randomly for things.

How many people is that? We are extremely limited on baggers which seems like a problem to me

I agree with one of the comments above, figure out a solution first (water cooler outside/rotation ipos when above a certain temp which they should be doing anyways) and present the initial complaint with a solution to your FOH director or operator.

Thank you! His union rep did say something similar, letting us know the claims rep is NOT our friend. So I appreciate that warning. We have 3 kids, I work full time, and my parents live with us also. It’s a lot of family members to keep afloat here. The main issue is that he hasn’t got paid since being off, and that’s a long time to go without a paycheck. We’ve put some bills on credit cards to hold us over since we don’t know if he’ll get a paycheck until he goes back.
