I'm a carman at Hinkle. They just walked 14 of us off the property. This is no b---s--- I am one of them.

I wonder when it's going to hit the Houston SU.
Hinkle Mechanical losing 6 machinists, 3 MSO's, and 1 electrician as of February 5. Big changes in all three craft seniority rosters.
It just made the news.

New productivity goal is 100%! Will only keep rising. G55 + precision railroading at its finest!
It was like 17 Carmen at hinkle. You pretty much had to have 11+ years to be safe for now. I am one of them that got the axe and honestly I have this strange sense of relief and feel bad for the guys still there knowing that they just lost 11 years of seniority. More dayshift weekends off jobs gone and a higher demand for productivity. What a f---ed up company!
Just heard 15 carmen and 5 yardmasters in Hinkle
Where in Hinkle and how many Carmen you’ll have there?
Confirmed! I as well. Second time getting cut in four months
