Hello everybody.. ive read through these forums on several occasions
before and knew this would be an excellent place to get some other CSX
employees feedback on my situation.. So here goes nothing.. now im not
sure how other divisions operate, meaning if you guys use the bump or
bid systems, but im an employee in the Baltimore Division and we use
the bump system.. which from everything I've always been told, even
during training at the REDI Center, that if a conductor gets bumped(or
displaced) that they have 48 hours to mark back up on a turn or various
things might happen ex. certified letter and only being able to mark up
on open turns.. anyways I get a certified letter in the mail the other
day from none other than good ol' Chicken Shit Xpress and its a 1st
step warning letter saying that my attendence and availability is
more-less not up to par.. so i looked at the days that i was
unavailabe.. i was only off sick 2 days in 1 year and 4 months.. and
those 2 sick days were over 2 months apart so i didnt violate the 28
day sick policy.. ALSO i had been displaced 3 times for a grand total
of 5 days in a 30 day period.. which if im not mistaking is completally
legal.. HOWEVER when i contaced my local chairman he told me that the
company has apparently been disreguarding the 48 hour bump and sending
employees certified warning letters if they're not marked back up in
12 hours.. I'm currently in the process of trying to get this issue
resolved and the letter removed from my history BUT i just want to get
some feedback, thoughts, opinions, and suggestions on my problem from
people on this website with more experience than me.. THANK YOU!!!
