Uncle intel railroad
So the word has come down that there will be a strike but it will only last a day or 2 because congress will step in and do something about it.

Ok not a surprise about that but what I'm hearing is a lot of guys aren't coming back if their demands aren't met.

They've lined up other job opportunities to take. 15 guys have already walked off up north, all on the same day, with no plans on returning.

That particular yard usually has 30 trains or more go through it a day now it is so backed up they can't even move one. Been like that a week now.

There was a meeting held to see if 120 yard masters and train masters would be able to handle the work load of moving the trains during the strike, not going to happen. Apparently the track guys and everyone is going on strike as well.

There won't be anyone to inspect the track or throw the switches or fill the engines with gas etc.

Be prepared. Even if the strike doesn't last a long time a bunch of guys might not be coming back to move those trains.

Faith is the soil where flowers grow and you need to nourish yours on a regular basis. Accepting that change is a natural condition and not a sign of your past mistakes helps you open up and let go of all those aspects of life that are beyond your control.

Re: Uncle intel railroad
This will definitely halt AMTRAK as well, if it happens. The freight lines own all the track that AMTRAK runs on.
The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them.
They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care.
Either case is a failure of leadership.

Let me clarify, when all the unions on the railroads can strike. (Or the carriers can lock us out) from working until we take the contract.

Union rep here. Yes one of those guys you’re bitching about.

Ima fuckin lay it out. All you stupid fucks blaming your union for this… guess what you’re a idiot. They brought a lot more to the table to fight for you. The carriers wanted you to suffer. Union said no we want a PEB so that maybe we can have a chance at bettering our union employees.

PEB fucked us. Not the union. They sided mainly with the company. Again not the unions fault. I will tel you what I’m hearing from gcs and other lcs. They do not like this and are awaiting further negotiation with the carriers. Again the unions are fighting for you.

We can have this shoved down our throat with congress. Or it could be better. Or it could def be worse. That isn’t up to the union. That’s the government.

You want to strike? Guess what so do most of if not all your union reps and leaders. We have to abide by the RLA. Wanna know why? If we don’t we go to jail. Not just union leaders or reps. But YOU YES YOU CAN TO. If congress forces us to work and you don’t.. you can be held in contempt and in violation of a congressional order. You can be sued personally by the railroad for lost income as can your union and reps and leaders.

Wildcat? Go for it. See where it gets you. Same as above but the moment they find out who started it they are fucked. Iirc a while back with high viz starting there were people on YouTube and fb calling for it. Guess ya all forgot how it got shut down hard and fast.


Shit is the way it is not because your unions. It’s because of pieces of shit at the rr you work for not giving 2 fucks about you.
