Like I said , Im basically risking my life and the life of my family to "keep the steel wheels rolling". Where is the insentive? If I worked practically any where else they would be paying me extra money to be exposed to all those "clean" coworkers of mine . I don't leave the house so the only way I can get it is through these people who before this outbreak don't even clean their hands after taking a dump.
The Corona virus bill that was passed tonight included $425 million to boost RRB unemployment to $ 1,200 bi weekly to eligible recipients between April 1 and July 31, 2020.
Wow I couldn't believe it , but Im not alone. I too used my one sick day . I could barely make it in today and I tried to cover up the illness as best I could. I don't have gambling depts. but I feel for you. I will just have to hide the illness and hope it passes. hopefully I wont infect too many but I need the money.
Tighten the rope and take a leap!
I think I have the virus, I have a dry cough and sporadic fevers for almost 6 days now, I only could call off for that 1 personal day I had, and even then it was like pulling teeth. With no other sick days my only option is to work because I have mounting bills partially from my gambling habit. Im at the end of my rope, I think that in the next few days, my union brothers may start feeling ill. What can I say?
It's $76 a day. But yes, still horrible.
The railroads unenjoyment rate of pay is disgraceful , you would think an industry with so much profit would have something that mirrors the state unemployment rate of pay but the last time I checked it was like 60 dollars a day. Try surviving on that for even a short time, Like I said disgraceful
Great question!! My guess is they were more than willing to screw you before all this happened I’m sure that hasn’t changed
