Name: NoMo E-mail: Employed as: Other, non-employee, for N/A Posted: 06 August 2012 Hey Dan: The NoMos have been traditionally reserved for management types. I think I'll it open it up this year...after all Marv fancies himself a Boss! Here's a laugher a little birdie sent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0V35Tstd0s&feature=youtu.be View This Article

Name: Dan E-mail: Employed as: Conductor, for 20-30 years Posted: 06 August 2012 When Marvin Nelms worked in Danville, Illinois as a Yard Master he wouldn't answer the radio unless you addressed him as Boss or Yard Master. If you just called the yard, but didn't ask for the yard master specifically Marvin would't answer the radio. When he finally did answer, after making the crew wait, he'd say "are you calling the CSX yard MASTER"? (Gee Marvin, you're the only one in the building with a radio that gives yarding instructions..... who do you think I'm calling?) Marvin being Marvin tried to throw his "authority " around. When the old heads would stand up to Marvin, and ask him to back up his tough talk when they got to the yard, you could never find Marvin. Marvin was hiding in the women's restroom, behind its locked door. Nomo. I don't know if you have a brown banana award for yard masters that are nothing more than whattabe train masters, if you do, I'd like to nominate CSX's own ego maniac, yard MASTER Marvin Nelns .

Cut off one leg and fill the toe with sand, use the other leg over your head and face. He'll never know who or what hit him. Make sure you stop by the hospital and visit him...he'll be out of work for a couple of months! View This Article

Name: real union E-mail: Employed as: Conductor, for 10-20 years Posted: 06 August 2012 Everyone.... Maybe the yardmasters are doing this because they are union memebers. Maybe they think if they get in trouble they can run to their local chairman and cry like a baby and tell them the tm's are making them do this. Cry like they have all the heat on them and they have to act like a-holes. Im not saying all yardmasters are bad. There are a few old heads left who know where their place is and its not at the management table. I hate to see them lose their union protection because of a bunch of snot nosed over blown ego maniacs who dont know their place. Has anyone tried contacting the LC for their yardmasters and tell them what the hell is happening. Maybe he might bring some in and tighten the ship. Or maybe not. Either way the LC's should be put on notice that the real working in the trench union members have had enough and the shit better stop!There should be instructions in your unions constitution on how to bring fellow members up on charges.

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Locomotive Engineer, for 20-30 years Posted: 06 August 2012 I've been reading the comments about the yard masters for a while now, and I kind of thought the comments by some, might have been a bit over blown. I was wrong. I haven't been to Roselake in quite sometime. I about fell over when yard master Marvin Nelms yelled at my conductor for not marking off immediately when he walked into the yard office. The conductor needed to use the restroom, and yard master Marvin Nelms accused him of stealing time because he spent 3 to 4 minutes using the facilities. You put a man on a hot un air conditioned engine, and the yard master thinks its ok to yell at the man for choosing to use the facilities in the yard office verses on that fifthly engine???? We were no where close to being on over time so we weren't stealing anything. While my conductor was walking out of the facilities Marvin started yelling at him to mark off immediately at the yard office, or he'd charge him with stealing time. Marvin then went on to yell at my conductor and I that if we had plans on stopping any where on the way to the hotel, (even though we would be off of the clock) that wasn't going to happen, because he wasn't going to give us permission to stop. I asked yard master Marvin Nelms if our van driver was picking up another crew, and that's why we weren't going to be allowed to stop for any food on the way to the hotel. Yard master Marvin Nelms went on a tirade that would make a sailor blush. I was informed by yard master Nelms that he was in charge, and if I didn't like that, it was tough****. This was his yard. He calls the crews and the shots. If we dared to cross him, he'd make it a point to call us for every piece of shit train with the worst power he could find. And no there was no crew at the hotel that was in need of the van. When did the Roselake terminal supt promote his yard masters, including Marvin Nelms to be in charge of harassing, threatening, and intimidating the crews on his behalf? Where is the union? Why is the union allowing the Roselake yard masters, a union contract employee, to continue with this unexceptionable behavior? I mentioned Marvin Nelms behavior to the driver. Thinking this was a one time deal, and he was having a bad day. Apparently this is normal behavior for most of the yard masters at Roselake. After dealing with more than one of the yard masters at Roselake, I'm well aware that this I am God and a member of management attitude isn't just limited to Marvin Nelms. Quite a few yard masters at Roselake have this attitude, and like to brag to the other crews which crews they're going to screw over next. I, like someone else that posted this question am beginning to wonder..... when yard masters forget that they are not members of management, and threaten their fellow union employees, what is the step we take to remind them that they are contract employees?

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Car repair, for 1-10 years Posted: 06 August 2012 BOXCAR, If the conversation took place over the radio, then that conversation was recorded. Contact OSHA @ 1-800-321-6742 and explain to them what took place, they will send out an investigator to collect the data and proceed with whatever actions are needed, then contact your local rep, but do this only with witnesses. If you do it alone you will fail! RECORD, WRITE DOWN AND REPORT. Hope this helps you out. View This Article

Name: GL E-mail: Employed as: Train Dispatcher, for 20-30 years Posted: 05 August 2012 boxcar As you may of well know, I work next to other dispatchers on each side of my subdivisions.... Dispatchers - This is most of us (men/women) quoting this to each other in our office. "Will you just shut the fuck up and let me do my fucking job" Managers: "XXXXXX....just let me do my job!!" (Some will do what they say because they know it will fuck them in the long run = more paperwork) and to yardmasters...... "will you just shut up for one god damn second" or "don't tell me what trains to put down my main" View This Article

Name: NoMo E-mail: Employed as: Other, non-employee, for N/A Posted: 05 August 2012 Hey Boxcar: Just tell him to tell the YM he's just working as safe as he can. Then every crew working needs to lay pipe to his ass. That will put an end to that. Just working safe boss! View This Article

Name: boxcar E-mail: Employed as: Conductor, for 1-10 years Posted: 05 August 2012 ??? Avon yardmaster at it again. Another one was talking to a newer guy like a piece of trash on the radio. Wasnt working as fast as he wanted and started harrassing him....."Whats taking you so long! Are you not qualified in this yard. Do I need to send someone down to hold your hand!" If it had been me I would have told him to shut up and get me a real supervisor down here, I want to talk to him! So what is the deal? Are we supposed to file ethic charges against the yardmaster or the TM. The TM is supposed to be keeping his secretaty on a leash isnt he? Can you even file ethic charges against another union member? Im starting to agree with some of the other posters that they shouldnt be represented by the union. Its bull crap that they can talk to fellow union members like a piece of crap and then run to the union with their tail between their legs when they get in trouble! Maybe its time to cut them loose and let them play big dog like they think they are. See how management handles them when they are on their own! I thought one of the jobs of a unions was to protect us from the harrassment of management. How can a union member get away with it? Shouldnt the union be filing charges against these guys for conduct unbecoming a union member? I say kick them out! View This Article

If you decide you dont want to come back then you could do good for the rest of us left behind. You know things and you can still report it. Go to the FRA, Osha, media, or what ever it takes to get things out there. It will never stop until someone shoots the shot heard around the world. You have names. You have seen things.

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Car repair, for 1-10 years Posted: 04 August 2012 I am not here to discriminate against csx, infact I am only here to give some advice from what I have had to deal with since I was employed. I worked over a decade to get the skills I felt was needed to join the railroad and did so without family members or friends help to gain employment with csxt, an acomplishment I was very proud of. In the beginning things were fantastic, compared to what I was used to during a work day this place was where I planned on retiring from. I put up with being called a scab, because I worked in a posistion that repaired frieght cars long before csxt employment. I always did my job the best I could and would pull cars from trains that did not meet fra regulations, this over a short period of time is where my situation began. I was called into the office over a dozen times by the general carshop manager,where he informed me that csxt was not in the business of fixing cars but moving frieght from point A to point B. Over a period of conversations one inwhich I had recieved a recording of he told me how he would hate to go look for something that is or is not there just to charge me with it, so I in fear of my job bid off the current posistion and went into another one. Soon the general care foremen was promoted to the head of mechanical over our division where he had a replacement come into our yard. We all felt that maybe this individual would be better..boy was we wrong talk about being cut from the same cloth. He was informing us that carts were nolonger to be used in the yards for inspections and soon a general foremen was fired from another point due to an employee violating this csxt rule, so he made another trip to our place of origin to explain to us that if any of us were to cause him to lose his job he would be sure to fall on us in the parking lot.(what a great guy) Well as I stated I always did my job and by doing so made this individual less than happy. He gave me a failed efficientcy test on yard air practice and when I had asked him what I had done wrong he replies nothing I gave that to you because of your additude. Now you might ask what about your union why did you not contact them..well I did on several occasions and their replies were IT IS THEIR RAILROAD, STAY OFF YOUR KNESS AND JUST LACE THE HOSES, QUIT LOOKING. well time had passed and would you know it to this very day I am fired. I worked in a posistion that helped other carmen complete the task of getting trains out of our yard on time and in an efficent manner, but one day a carman needed my assistance and because of one radio transmission I was cahrged with blueflag violation due to the other carman actually being in blueflag violation, I denied any rule violation so they charged me with conduct unbecoming, and lying under an investigation. I went to the so-called hearing held by csxt where they had nothing but here say from the other carman and the amount of lies told by the two managers were just hard to stomache one general manager and one mechanical superintendent both just made up conversations that never even took place said I said and did things I never did! I even had a witness that came in, but you know what I recieved guilty on all three charges. Today I still have a hard time coping with the termination as it has stained me and has even brought on a mild depression that has effected my family life. I wish there were some way to find peace with this but when you are found guilty of something you are not guilty of it is hard and every day is a fight just to keep pushing thru. I have another job ,but things are not good with me as a person ,this weight on my back is almost too much to deal with. I am still fighting to get my job back ,but the union quit having arbitrations due to the funding being stopped. I spoke with an attorney and yes filed a complaint with osha ( I highly recomend any carman fired due so quickly... 180 days from termination. So the lesson here is IF A MANAGER COMES TO YOU RECORD THE CONVERSATION OR GET IT IN WRITTING, MAKE SURE YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH CO-WORKERS FOR WITNESSES AND NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER GO AT IT ALONE BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE! I HOPE TO REGAIN MY EMPLOYMENT AND I HOPE THOSE TWO MANGERS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS FOR THE CARMAN I WISH NOTHING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE FOR ALL I KNOW THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION OF HIS EMPLOYMENT BEING TERMINATED IF HE WAS NOT TO COOPERATE.

Name: The Silver Sharpie E-mail: Employed as: Locomotive Engineer, for 1-10 years Posted: 03 August 2012 Brothers and Sisters of the Nashville Division; Trainmaster Justin Reeves really did a number on himself when he put nearly a hundred dollars worth of diesel fuel into the trainmaster's unleaded fuel only Super Duty. It's now sitting in the shop with major damage, and all bets are on saying that he and his buddy Shawn Helm are trying to keep what really happened away from good ole' Pete Burrus. What's the matter, Reeves? All of those frivolous charges and ruined careers catching up with you? How's it feel to be in the crosshairs for once? What will your family say when you go home and tell them you got fired, like the hundreds of engineers and conductors that have fallen victim to your vengeful games? It's a shame when the playing field gets leveled, huh? View This Article

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Friend or family of employee, for N/A Posted: 03 August 2012 Loco 1-10 Nazi you say? Wrong! Once upon a time there was a wolf named GLD Manager. One day he decided he wanted to take control of all the little sheep, so he put on a little sheep outfit and began working his way into the heard. Slowly but surely he was able to manipulate everyone into letting him move to the front of the line. Every little sheep just knew he would be the one to protect them from the big bad wolf. His plan was falling into place. One day the sheep would start bringing him one little sheep at a time until he ate the whole heard! Being very smart and very manipulative he was able to take control of the heard. Now the false prophet needed to make sure everyone thought he was looking out for their best interest so he came up with a brilliant idea! "Why dont I recruit some really unstable and butt kissing sheep to do my bidding, then when things go wrong I can blame it all on them and banish them from the heard(really eat) after they have accomplished my goals. No one will be the wiser and I will be praised again for getting rid of the bad ones and saving the heard!" What a brilliant plan he had! So after offering a piece of his kingdom to everyone who would do his bidding he narrowed it down to the one who would kiss the best butt and be hated the most. The winner is........GLD RF! Now, the only thing left for the king sheep(wolf) to do is play him until he cracks(which he will) then eat him when the time is right. Be careful little sheep! He is still there so the evil is too!
