CSX Attendance Policy

NO!!! You CAN'T have a day off!

    The railroad practically invented the term 'on-call'. Many CSX employees do not have schedules, but are forced into working a 'list'. Most lists are on call 6 days a week, 24 hours a day, and often the employee cannot even choose their day off. It is common to be called to work during an assigned day off.

    Unscheduled days off are usually not granted for family or religious obligations. There are many CSX employees who have been unable to attend their childrens' birthday parties, their wedding anniversaries, and even funerals because they were not allowed time off.

    We've even heard of people who had to call out sick, to attend their own wedding! We're sure that some of these stories that can top even that one...

Oops I forgot...there's nothing left to miss!

this has got to be a joke.. A big group of conductors and engineers that
have nothing better to do then cry. I am a signalman with CSX and have
never heard anyone cry and bitch as much as you guys. If you dont like
your jobs then quit. It is because of your rule violations and not
paying attention you ever get in trouble. Everytime I have to go to a
meeting with trans I hate it you are a big group of crying bitches.
Also it was a trans person that is making us work extra hard under FRA
and now we have to add PTC because one of you guys in California killed
a bunch of people while texting. Here is a hint, try to go get another
job and see if you get paid 50+K a year to sit on your ass and complain
because a caller runner didnt bring you ice and crew packs.

took a look at the proposed consolidation that CSX wants to impose. 
Looks like Montgomery and Erwin are really gonna take up the ass.  Also
it is very obvious that CSX is kissing the SCL's ass and wanting to
punish the L&N for voting down the last agreement.  Wow what a great
company to work for.  The L&N local chairmen need to get off there
asses and stop this before shit really hits the fan.  Would like to
hear what everyone else has to say about this horse shit

RRJ,
The time has passed when a person worked for the RR, and did it for the
family. To much free money laying around, to many folks that have never
had a job. They never wanted a job and neither did their mom and DAD??

Dad took of when mom was expecting, and worked the streets, taking
anything that was there. I see them everyday. They trash every
neighborhood that they live in. They live there because of section 8
and other gov programs, and they are not all Black either.

My intention was to comment on Free money from the RR. As I recall
drawing it a few times it was based on 500 miles per week. Stay marked
up for 7 days and draw a free day if you had less than 500 miles or 5
starts for the preceding week. I was always on the road and drew a few,
not many. As I recall it paid less than a straight day, around $10.00 or
so.

Oh Well so much for my ranting.

Word is Angie smith won her case against Csx . Found Csx guilty on all
counts/sexual harrassment withthanks going too wes knick. Next followed
up by retaliation for daring to report it.. Honor goes to jack Vierling
for firing her . Maybe Csx can sell his black belt in six sigma with
jay fleenors dentures and have enough for attorney fees. Honorable
mention goes to Terry schray and randy hall for nailing down the loose
ends and making sure the jurors had no doubt what a sleazy bunch Csx
has at the hel

Your right Goob things should of been left alone. Today they complain if
they have to work seeing drawing a gaurentee leaves no incentive. When
it was feast or famine we were glad to accept the call. Years of being
on an extra board meant you had something to look forwards eventually
getting a job on a freight pool. Those gaurentees placed a lot of
restrictions on the job gone were the days a person could mark off for
28 days without recourse from the railroad. The railroads now control
the numbers on the XB which are kept low. Many a payday while working
the XB I'd get my check from the paymaster then move to the right to
sign up for days of unemployment for time missed while marked up.

RRJ,
Sounds right.
All they could talk about in the late 60's was the Guaranteed income
that they wanted so badly.
Looking back losing the 100 mile day, Vacation based on years ETC.

It sure would be nice if things had been left alone. Work or Starve was
the way it was, and no one really bitched about it. I spent more time on
the off board than I did working, and no one said a word. We had married
folks trying to make a living and many single folks like me wanting a
few bucks to screw around with.

When I left it was the same. However I had married and went from
leisure to taking every trip, however except for emergency I could work
1 day a month if I wanted to and no one said anything. These were the
good times to RR.

Those days ended in the early '90s when the basic day was raised from
100 miles to 130.

As I remember from the 60's it was years of service to earn a
Vacation.
I always had 2 weeks and never worked any amount of days to qualify.
I do remember that cut off employees would lose some vacation,
depending on how many months they were on the street. So earning a
vacation one year to enjoy it the next was there. Day's worked was
not.

Hey Red:

At the most, you're only talking six starts...either way, with the HOS
law I doubt you'll qualify!
