Traveling Car Inspectors going the way of the Dinosaurs
TCI positions are being eliminated throughout the South. Management new slogan is “50%” burn rate for mechanical. What they aren’t telling everyone is the real number is “70%”. That means more Carmen to be furloughed.
Carman are the backbone of the railroad. Unions are the backbone of the railroad. Conductors, Engineers, Brakemen,Machinists etc
My brothers and sisters. I want to give all you a great big hug and salute. From Colton to North Platte to Proviso. Keep fighting and keep hope for our unions. All we need is a little bit of balls and they’re going to wake a sleeping giant. Let them... — read more
Furlough
Seems like the furloughs have calmed down. Is this the calm before the storm?
This whole PSR thing is going to backfire big time!
I’m sure BNSF will be hiring soon. My neighbor is an employee and told me they can’t hardly keep up with the demand since the PSR railroads started running off customers. This whole PSR thing is going to backfire big time!
BNSF
Set to take over the southern route on the mid America service unit. Pine bluff will be back in business. North Little Rock will suffer greatly.
Proviso carman
Cut 51 carman today

Proviso please furlough me already!!!
Everyone hates coming to work with this gloomy cloud over our heads every single day. Asking if anybody heard anything. Just furlough us and lose the experience and talent. BNSF IS WHERE TO GO!!
why don't more managers take stress leave before quitting?
with the schedules they have them working I think most of them would qualify for it.

Bad news for Cheyenne.
By years end, Cheyenne will be a run through yard only. Per the Denver munchkins.
Roseville Car
Your director/manager are lying to you. The cuts will be double what they are telling you maybe more. They are just trying to keep people there until they can get the cars out so they can make them self look good trying to save their own jobs.
