Well, I don’t know why the poor reactions happened and I also don’t know what “very soon” meant but to update... nope we haven’t lost our brakemen yet. So not system wide as of yet.
Yes. It happens in augusta ga and savannah ga tuesday.
They go car to car tying handbrakes until the train stops. You haven't seen those movies before?
What’s a Brakeman? I haven’t see those in forever!
They just furloughed all the coal shovelers at my location. PSR baby!
Don’t have them where I am. I can’t believe they still have them in places!
I don’t think we will lose ours either, but we will see I guess. One man crews ain’t happening either. Eventually, I see it but not this contract.
Only in certain locations the location I’m at they’re keeping the 4 they have
One man crews on the way. The money is exchanging hands.
I don’t believe it will be system wide. I will update if wrong.
Now that you’ve woken out of your coma, you are going to find that quite a few things have changed over the last 5 years
I didn't even know they still had them
That writing has been on the wall since the late 80's. Forgive me if I don't put on my 'shocked' face for this news.
