The BNSF attendance policy provides more predictability for train crews. Incorporating it at UP would give TE&Y employees ample time for obligations outside work, including planned vacations, personal leave days and unplanned absences while increasing job security

So what are y’all complaining about.? Apparently Union Pacific is a world-class railroad the others benchmark themselves again.
I Am UP
BNSF just went to UP's policy. Here is your sign.
"predictability" as in 'you can predict your phone is going to ring every ten hours'?
Which attendance policy? I think recently BNSF tried to implement a policy more like UP’s. I am unsure if BNSF tried that system wide or in regions. I believe under their old system it was they wanted employees available about 75% of the time and the new system was about 90%. The BNSF guys I talk to say the old system wasnt too bad and they are shocked about UP’s tactics. Also I have heard 1st hand BNSF did not do dirty tricks to circumvent federal rest. (dead heads or leaving crews in hotels intentionally for 24+hrs)
