Union heads were part of this decision, the were present in the meeting that conducted a vote to ensure this happened. All Union leadership was in Washington last month for a meet and greet with company officers, and no longer serve the members. A wildcat is coming as Union leadership sold out its members in secrecy. If BNSF is going to take jobs anyway, and force out employees, the RLA is not protecting anyone, let the company sue the unions, what’s it matter to workers at this point anyway, they earned it, and need the wake up call, as they no longer protect members. Walk out, union leadership can sanction the wildcat, or be punished by the company because of it, union members can not be punished by the union that failed to protect them in the first place.

Every one still working are a bunch of pu$$, no back bone, "I HAVE BILLS AND TOYS TO PAY". The company knows that and is the reason they do all this $hit to us.
How did this sickout work for you? Business as usual
Unions have been a-s for years, where have you guys been.
From my view, looks like the union leaders are the source….pretty typical…it’s hard to argue with that…if you didn’t know…now you do….IBEW, BLET, IAM, SMART, BMWED, etc they were all there, all them fish in a corrupt barrel, with greased bellies and a lying a$$. A sickout would wipe the grins right off their faces
It was under the guise of railroad safety day, May 7, 2025….pictures are worth a thousand words, well here’s a link of all the union leaders in Washington for those meet and greets, a whole bunch of pictures, it’s magical, all those smiling faces and all of them still employed….how ironic.

After this less than a month later this past weekend, on Father’s Day weekend, votes taken this past weekend with union leaders, FRA, and BNSF leaders, with pamphlets passed out at mechanical facilities to car departments, highlighting the vote, the elimination of inspections in favor of BHE and BHI, and traction motor replacement by contractors.
Nothing happens in a bubble, welcome to the corruption of railroad union leaders, it’s all about safety until your unemployed wondering how it happened.
The source is the head of every union went to Washington, it was common knowledge, you either had your head in the sand, or were there yourself. Which makes you the ignorant or the guilty…dealers choice
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen this week.
