No more cuts because they hit 30%? Or no more cuts for the year?

Remember....unemployment is suppose to be SHORT term. If you're a pretty new RR employee you would not even qualify for RR Unemployment pay at all.

Yes RR unemployment is on the low side. It does help keep a roof over ones head tho.

Wow, I just look up RR Unemployment and it is crazy low. It says only $1500 a month that is ridiculous, I've friends that get almost $1000 week on state disability.

Correct but paid five days and walked off. Yes recall rights but don’t expect for a while.

They are layoffs. Not necessarily walked off, but not working until they’re called back.

I was laid off for a year and a half when our PTC shop closed. They called me back after attrition warranted more electricians.

Are these furloughs where they walk of the properties or just job abolishment and bumping?

So sorry to hear this! Those in the glass tower don’t understand or appreciate the ones that really keep this once-great railroad running. No, it’s not IT who can’t deliver anything in less than a year that doesn’t break immediately. No, it’s not Sales and Marketing whose lack of customer revenue is resulting in the storage of 1,000 locomotives. Does Accounting run the railroad? Oh, I guess they do actually.
