Hot on the heels and not to be outdone by NS’s queen of the moldy honey, BNSF’s resident wicked witch of the wicker people has signed off on cuts to every department in every division including massive summer furloughs. Expect the same as before; these will be permanent bye-byes. This place is about to become even worse as it appears all class 1’s are racing to outdo themselves to get to the least number of workers fastest.

SCABS ON THE METROLINK IN LA ARE TAKING OVER AND RUNNING THE SHOW..
ALLIED SECURITY DOING CONDUCTORS JOBS ON THE ANTELOPE AND SAN BERNADINO LINE AND MOW REPLACED BY SCAB OUTIFIT RAILPROS OUT OF WEST LA....LOL....AHOLES!
Our general foreman was caught ordering a triple meat whataburger combo whatasized with extra fries and a Diet Coke . It’s going down bro !! Even the GF is stress eating
There is a bigger snake in the weeds catch our gf and supervisor in lie after lie. We are running skeleton crew as it is now less is more. There are just as good as jobs out there and I'm pursuing them. It used to be a good company and place to work all mechanical work is going to be scabs so more money for bnsf and less cost we are a dying breed.
When you catch your general foreman on the phone with an acquaintance asking about possible employment, that’s all you need to know about your future.
The endgame is minimal if any inside mechanical forces and all contract maintenance work. BN is following the example set by the other scumbag class 1s to a T. At least 30% more cuts this year, next year will be eviscerating the rest. They’re literally coming in and cutting out places, sending everyone packing in the same day. Do you think there’s going to be a retirement left in the end? The unions are hemorrhaging members left and right and lying to those left about the future: it’s over folks. If you have a chance to jump sh-t do it immediately. It’s not a matter of if anymore it’s when. Get caught with your pants down and you’ll be sorry, ask me how I know.
As if the bnsf barstow car dept wasn't bad enough already
After laying off over 20% Bnsf is forcing overtime every other day. The talk is laying off another 30%. So they are going to ki-l everyone by working us to death. From a cr---y company to the shittiest company how American.
If I had to guess, July
Any idea of which summer month?
Welcome to do more with less.... the railroad as a stable career is officially DEAD.
