Thread regarding BNSF Railway layoffs

Management pretty tough on property !!!

@n0 Pu----s huh.......Face to Face...What ya think?

F--- em. Do the bare minimum for 8 hrs and go home. The railroads don't care about you. The Unions have sold you out !

You gotta learn to play the game! The more you give em the more they expect!

@cm easy to say for the piece of sh#ts that dont do much in the first place. Not for the guys that actually work every day and expected to make multiple units

@OP God a lot of yall union guys are p*ssies. Can believe y’all can look yourself in the mirror when you’re SO soft

@cm or you can choose to not be a little b*tch and do your job

@j5 You have know Idea what your talking about. Your just a union pickle li---r.

Cheaper to pay overtime rather than pay employee benefits, railroad wants short term workers to leverage retirement benefits, if they cut workers and pay overtime, then furlough again, eventually people don’t reach retirement because they get tired of being seasonally furloughed, longer you are furloughed the longer you have to work, 30 years eventually adds up to 40, if they wait you out and hope they get as much as they can out of you in the short term, the company contribution to RRB goes down based on less employees retiring, oil field has been doing it for years until employees implement a 401k or 457 retirement system based on age becoming a factor to actually retire, and the company contribution goes to nothing or next to nothing, unions are not protecting worker longevity based on short term goals

Take the free money and do as little as possible. Drag your a-s follow all the rules, and nit pick everything.

Been doing that since last round. And hen bi--h about the overtime. So stop overtime and dont get releases...effn id--ts attempt to run this company.

Overtime is the biggest expense, so it doesn’t surprise me. Paying more people straight time is cheaper. That’s what happens when mo--ns are put in charge of millions of dollars
