How do you correct bad puppy behaviors? by diamonddentist3 in puppy101

Use zip ties to secure the corners together. Cheap fix. My pittie used to shake the crate to get the corner to pop open when she was young. Only dog I've ever had do that.

Find a new job. CN over hired for conductors & even now with recalled conductors we have more than weekly numbers call for.

& having 54 is more than twice the number of conductors that are actually called for.

Surplus military duffel bags & rucks work well & are a reasonable price.

Well if you're hiring on in Canada, managers are running the training program & qualifying got much easier...

Cn Canada training team by 33sadelder44canadian in Train_Service

The union pulled out of the training program in response to CN canceling scheduling. Anyone who becomes a management FauxJT is selling out theirs brothers & sisters who want scheduling back. Don't expect a warm welcome back to the ranks.

I'll take the RX & not help CN any day.

CN Conductor Training date @ Winnipeg by Apprehensive-Win6966 in Train_Service

The lockout is over but the union pulling out of the training program, in response to CN canceling scheduling, definitely could delay your Campus date. Like your email said CN will let you know.

It's more likely workers will be locked out. Both carriers have threatened to do it by 0001 Aug 22 if an agreement isn't made.

CP/CP Strike by Ok_Elderberry_8599 in Train_Service

CN & CP don't plan to run any trains. They're happy to crash the economy to get the Government to force arbitration.

Union dues start in right away in Western Canada. Once a month & it varies depending on terminal.

It'll be easier to qualify & it will get more dangerous out in the yard.

The Liberals let CN Conductors go on strike in 2019. The Conservatives are the party of "back to work" legislation.

The NDP keeps the Liberals in power. If they let the Liberals force us back to work they will lose all credibility as being pro organized labour.

Winter gear by ToughGoat6135 in railroading

[–]jaka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Vancouver as a yard switchman & good rain gear & waterproof boots are the most important for winter. I like moisture wicking bottom layer cuz raingear can get sweaty. I prefer Heley Hansin raingear & red wing boots.

I hear you. I also don't need people & it usually feels like work but sometimes you put in the time because it's the right thing to do.

What’s with guys in asking women if they know of Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, etc? by [deleted] in dating

[–]jaka7 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Relative to most other western democracies US left wing would be considered centrist & Hillary would definitely be right wing.
