Re: Disabled Train?

Hello work extra. I am a little confused by your posting. you had bottled air on a locomotive and called 204? if youre so full of fire why didnt you unbottle the air and go? if a crew is known to be good, we let them do what they need to do. I know quite a few conductors who know the equipment well ...

Work extra your post is passionate but times have changed. Customers demand more now and the railroad doesnt have the flexibility it used to have. such as coupling to a train full of people on the main. now they have to be offloaded and then the empty disabled train can be coupled to. This can take ...

this is why we need Bernie Sanders! The offspring mr. plunket described have been cheated of what is rightfully theirs by the rich in this country. President Sanders will increase their benefit checks, snap, college aid and health care coverage. Mr. Trump will enslave them.

this is why we need Bernie Sanders. President Sanders would tax Mr. Russos earnings and distribute the funds to the disenfranchised. We need income inequality abolished. Mr. Prendergast is a hero for speaking out against these abuses. It was suggested at a meeting that the Mta declare the LIRR bankr...

Nothing meaningful will happen. the crew will undergo special training and learn to identify empty platforms and platforms with people standing on them. they have a mock up in hsy with mannequins representing people. The crew will have to work together as a team to communicate with each other on wha...

Sadly the directives for service does resonate from the top through Office Bandwith. We are trying to improve our bandwith through media and other bandwiths compatible venues. i agree we need to combine bandwiths to further a bandwithical solution.

Trump will be a great president. Hes the last hope this country has before it implodes. We had subzero weather and 400 bucks or not, sh*t will happen. Think of how much service this railroad operates and overall its a great service.

Willie the raise is not specificaly the TVM equipment. It is for them to use the Smartphone. All train service employees are receiving a raise, including those that arent in the ticket servicing end of train service. This president is impressed with train services' commitment to the railroad, cooper...

My post is confusing to you northpit? you implied that because engineers are certified conductors, that they are entitled to conductors jobs. And I am saying to you that qualifications have nothing to do with who does what job. Train Dispatchers for example. If the railroad desired can certify every...

Your post is ridiculous northpit. What you're qualified to do has nothing to do with unions. Every train dispatcher is also a qualified conductor. Should their roster be dovetailed with the conductors roster? Both Smart and BLE have scope rules in their respective contracts that require "member...

Thats uncalled for 452card. i think its pathetic that the LIRR would pay a conductor more than an engineer. I am in management and far from low level and have over three decades under my belt. We rely more on our engineers to show up than we do, our trainservice and I really dont care if you or anyo...

Steamboat willie the MOU reads that this raise is for the specific technology implementation. Mr. Simon and the LIRR left the door open to new tech coming with the M9's. It seems that troubleshooting and door operation will be considered new tech. Before the engineers start foaming it has been decid...
