azsouth Posted November 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 My personal opinion is if they force us back to work MASS RESIGNATIONS will follow. We would like to be treated like people... Believe it or not that is all we are asking. Quit harassing us .... continually calling 5-10 times a night to work another job that we don't want to work. I know we are on call but how do you sleep if the phone never stops ringing? Quit denying our personal and vacation days ( for a decade we have been told we can't take a day because of lack of manpower ) If I did not have 25years invested in this job I would quit. If you don't believe the words I am telling you.... All railroads are hiring!! come join the clusterf*ck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azsouth Posted November 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 We urge all BLET Members, Auxiliary and families to immediately contact their Congressional Representative and ask them to pass legislation currently under consideration on the House floor providing paid sick leave to ALL Union represented rail workers. the link is simple to use and we are asking for people to use it to send a message to our Senators to vote yes on 2 bills that have already passed the House and just need to pass the Senate.

azsouth Posted December 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Well no support from the Republicans, so we are going to be forced back to work. HOPEFULLY THEY DID NOT CUT THIER OWN THROAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipleadthefish2 Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 It's so sad that these people represent us. Our country is not split up the way these votes always are. Bummed this is how this washed out. ctbrahan, azsouth and yev14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should have been a no brainer for those now claiming that they now represent the middle class and average man/woman. I’m sure if you dig a little there’s a money trail leading back to the railroads. So disturbing…..and it’s coming from both sides. I don’t know what’s next for you azsouth, career change after a long stint is a tough call, but I do wish you luck.

azsouth Posted December 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thanks again everyone, the fight is over and the next year will determine how bad this supply chain issue will get. So hold on and prey we don't have mass resignations. mooseknuckles, StriperAddict, SumoNinja and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
