Claim Invalid??     Railroaders work, and expect to be paid. It's a simple idea. Less work means less pay. Likewise, more work should mean more pay, but that's not the way things work on the CSX. According to union contracts, there are situations that warrant additional pay, for additional work, but more often than not, these claims are not honored by the CSX.

All that needs to be done is have a vote for those who will represent
them in railroad/union programs like the BLET SENSE or CSX Safety
committee. That's how we deal with it. No union officer especially the
LC should participate. That in my opinion is a conflict of interest.
Bring it up at the monthly union meeting. My BLET division has been
doing this for quite some time. It'll alleviate any suspician from the
membership. Those voted in can do monthly reports at the meetings.
Biggest problem most people do not fill out the necessary forms to
report safety concerns to their rep. When they go to monthly meeting
they need it in writing so it can be documented. People complain but
their part of the problem. Verbal complaints never get action not like
PI-82's or the BLET Safety forms. On CSX it's pretty much a sham
every month old business is discussed with alot of follow ups. Changing
a light bulb could take 6 months.

I figure at 1k a year you have 10k invested in this. Man you bought some nice Lobster for the boy's. got a question for ya, How are things working for YOU? I know, I Know, gotta let em take my cash every half, can't stand up and fight the system. I know if they ask on Occasion for a little more, need to do that so my Budd's do not turn against me. Why post a bitch about the union, when you are the Union? I think you are ball less and a follower.

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Locomotive Engineer, for 10-20 years Posted: 22 July 2010 Railroads, Unions, Lack of Oversight (Corrupt Corporate America) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2010-07-19, 5:42AM EDT Reply To This Post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to the lack of FEDERAL oversight; some railroad management are audaciously (bribing) paying union officers FULL SALARIES to participate in phantom safety-[ not working] (once a month) programs as added leverage against employees to control dissent; incite intimidation. The union officers are suppose to be bound by honor and integrity to protect their members from harassment, threats for reporting unsafe working conditions and to ensure strict safe working conditions to prevent distractions that is the main cause of accidents. An environment free of intimidation is an environment free of accidents. The last ten years; Railroad CEO's and some union officer's salaries have quadrupled while the TE&Y employees are at par. The major rail (BLET UTU) unions; FOUR out of the last SIX International Officers have resigned or have been incarcerated due to misconduct. The moral of this alarm is this: if the railroads are encouraging corruption on local/division level; look at what the International Officers are turning-out to be on the national level...CROOKS-without any FEDERAL OVERSIGHT!

Name: signal man E-mail: Employed as: Employed in other capacity, for 1-10 years Posted: 04 July 2010 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. View This Article

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.

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 View This Article

Are these simply the one's that CSX want's to count, or the one's you want to count. I bet the CSX is counting Starts, not your imature BS. I would think after a gazillion years and all of your experience you would know. Heck man you can not even get the miles and states right. I gave you 3k and that is a brakeman on half the starts. Piss on about rock trains, guess they are not trains and require no one. Good thing you are Retired, However looks like you are simply a foamer. View This Article

Industrial yard switchers? Road Switchers? Extra Boards? Utilitymen? I'm sure I've left out a few. 14,000 out of 30,000 is about right it is a railroad. By your guesstamites when CSX furloughed 2500+ trainmen in 2008-2009 they had to do way with over half their work force. That didn't happen. You sure are an obsessive little schidt.

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Other, non-employee, for N/A Posted: 18 May 2010 From mike ward, CSX home site, info for investors. 2009 Review. CSX has 21k miles CSX has 3800 Locomotives. CSX has 101k cars. CSX runs 1200 trains per day.(24HRS) CSX moves 20k cars per day CSX has 30,000. employees. Now tell me why they have 14k or more T&E AS PER RRJ. 1200 trains would require, let us say 3k that would be 50% with a Brakeman? With 14,000 T&E Every one is loving the guarantee as they only need to work 3 or 4 days a month. Also this means 47% of all CSX employees are T&E qualified. OK RRJ your turn to check me out and make me wrong. View This Article
