Hey guys I have a question about working for a transportation contractor like Herzog, Veolia or whatever else is outthere as a conductor or Hoghead. My question is, say for example you work for a contractor for a commuter rail agency and the contract expires. Do you just pack up and go somewhere else or can you stay and work under the new operator? I notice some Rail Agencies change operators like Metrolink who went from Veolia to Amtrak and so on. If you work for those contractors, is moving around from place to place just part of the job or can you opt to stay somewhere?
I ask because I currently work for a Class 1 in California and think eventually I wouldn't mind jumping over to passenger operations. Does anybody have experience with this? Is it a good transition? Are pay and benefits similar? I'm just wondering.
