He was 68. His birthday was coming up in august.

Another victim of this virus. Ray and I worked together in management for many years and he was a good guy. I cannot think of any time that I didn't like him and the carrier lost a friend when he retired. To succumb to this at 68 is pretty sad especially when he was still in the industry that he lov...

ADL you used the term Janitor. If you want to be successful in management, you're going to have to learn to be more sensitive to a persons feelings. They are no longer called janitors, they are organic containment specialists. Yes, the Presidents of all agencies, the Chairman of the MTA, Board Membe...

As a new Transportation Manager if I have to “punch out” does that mean I can then turn off my cell phone and not be available to be called In? What’s the point of punching out as a manager if I’m still “subject to duty”? Congratulations on your new appointment! Now use your ideas and try to make t...

Someone wrote this a few posts back Just a heads up, a lot of things that Datenail says are “definitely going to happen” usually don’t happen. I said its happening and its going to happen. And involve all employees. Details to soon be released as to where and when employees need to punch in. As I sa...

Swingman, now take your tweaks and factor in equipment inspection cycles and maintenance. Its easier to dismantle a train in WSY where there are around the clock drill crews and send the equipment to a heavy maintenance facility like Hillside shops/Morris Park/Sheridan Shop. This is why the equipmen...

Swingman, your stats and anger should be directed at the railroad not me. I am not recommending or a proponent of deadheading to NY at 1:00AM to punch out. If you read my postings, nothing I said recommends or insists that we do anything about deadheading back. What I did say was that if the unions ...

ADL says that the mta is screwed up. Because if what ADL is saying is true then punching in once a day wont prove anything. Ive head something like this and some of our employees claiming that they will punch in and then leave. It wouldnt do anything to stop employees from leaving early or stepping ...

You know what they say about Opinions.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all STINK

How insulting ADL! I didnt say that the home terminal change was going to happen. I cautioned that the unions could possibly lose the agreement if they insist on fighting the time clock initiative. Theres a difference because I wasn't making a prediction, just stating an opinion. It has been done be...

Similar to the disability scandal, a few folks abuse the system and everyone gets penalized It wasn't the few it was the many who abused the system. The few are the ones with legitimate disabilities that had their disability annuity suspended while the issue was being investigated. They were the on...

The only way the clock would reduce cost is if you believe that the crews were fabricating the arrival times on their deadheads. The only difference is some crews now cant commute when traffic is light or will be less likely to hang out for a one way. The company isn't worried about costs its worri...

The riding public finally wins something! Employees insist on being paid for every moment they are working and should be expected to be on the property for the time they are paid for. Too many scandals over the years have caused this to happen and its time. Employees who were perfectly fine and work...

it would violate labor contract and if forced anyway, would employees only to refuse using personal auto. Where in the labor agreements are timeclocks prohibited? your agreements have stated terminals and specific times for walking, deadheading, washup, etc. But right now you may finish in one plac...

Metro north announced that in September they are installing Biometric timeclocks systemwide. All employees will be required to scan in and out and this includes Train and Engine service employees. I hear that this is going to be implemented on the LIRR sometime this year based on the Metro north mod...
