1 | Timestamp | Have you had the opportunity to read and understand the Recommendations of PEB #250? | Have you had the opportunity to discuss with your coworkers the Recommendations of PEB #250? | On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being worst and 10 being best, did the PEB meet your hopes and expectations for a good contract? | If the PEB recommendations were offered to you by your union "as is" in the form of a Tentative Agreement, would you vote Yes or No? | Please elaborate, if you wish, on your Yes/No answer to the question above. | Do you think that railroaders should exercise their right to strike on or after September 16th, as allowed under the Railway Labor Act? | Please elaborate, if you wish, on your Yes/No answer to the question above. | What union are you a member of? | What is your age group? | How many years of seniority do you have? |
2 | 2022/08/25 7:03:35 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | I believe that the general wage increases are decent but on the low side overall. I would prefer to have a cap on the health care premiums in addition to the 15% to avoid significant changes in cost. I don’t like the bonus being sold as a way to cushion the healthcare costs since the costs will always be there and the bonus is for the life of this contract only. They failed to address attendance policies and only offer 1 additional pld. | Yes | I believe that if necessary we should be able to strike if further negotiations don’t yield a better agreement than what was presented in the PEB recommendation. | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 5 to 10 |
3 | 2022/08/25 7:41:15 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Off time didn’t change insurance is going up raises aren’t enough to make up for the miserable work conditions and time away. | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | |
4 | 2022/08/25 7:48:00 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
5 | 2022/08/25 9:00:52 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
6 | 2022/08/25 9:06:14 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Don’t know how anyone could agree to a contract with no set insurance price. The price will continue to rise even while we don’t get raises after contract expires | No | What’s the point we will be put back to work by the government in less than an hour. The RLA has is screwed | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 5 to 10 |
7 | 2022/08/25 9:25:14 AM MDT | Yes | No | 5 | No | Not a large enough pay raise, health care needs to be capped. | Yes | The companies and PEB need to understand how we as labor directly contribute to the operation and profits of the system. | ATDA - Dispatchers | 30-39 | 10 to 20 |
8 | 2022/08/25 10:42:32 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 6 | No | Uncapped insurance is biggest issue. Need to cap at a decent number | Yes | Put this in the hands of a Democratic Party led house/senate/White House | ATDA - Dispatchers | 30-39 | 1 to 5 |
9 | 2022/08/25 12:00:25 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
10 | 2022/08/25 4:25:51 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | There must be cap for the monthly health insurance and those raises need to be much higher. No signing bonuses just raises and back pay to reflect what we do and deal with and to help curb this out of control inflation. | Yes | If there is no cap to the monthly insurance then absolutely and raises not even close to inflation...the real numbers. | ATDA - Dispatchers | 30-39 | 5 to 10 |
11 | 2022/08/26 5:21:19 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 6 | No | I am not happy about the changes to health insurance | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 30-39 | 10 to 20 | |

13 | 2022/08/26 12:11:50 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | Pay raise not large enough, health care uncapped is a non starter. | Yes | It’s our only means of recourse now due to lack of any serious offers from the carriers. | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |
14 | 2022/08/26 2:13:56 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | ||
15 | 2022/08/26 6:52:55 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Sacrificed too much for a carrier and Government that could care less about it’s citizens and employees who move the country. They obviously don’t think we contribute to profits so why would we even come close to voting yes for greed. Complete and under disrespect and physical spit in our faces. | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 30-39 | 10 to 20 | |
16 | 2022/08/26 7:23:16 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | I want at least 3 points more on raise and keep the cap on medical. | Yes | Carriers are abusive, passive, and not appreciative. We should be treated like human beings and not numbers. They don't take us seriously. It's gone on for far too long. It's time for a change. | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 10 to 20 |
17 | 2022/08/26 11:14:22 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Medical cap removal is unacceptable, add the $5k bonus to my wage percentage and not taxed at 40%. | Yes | Capital investment and risk are the causation for profit not contributions of labor. | ATDA - Dispatchers | 40-49 | 10 to 20 |
18 | 2022/08/28 5:36:56 PM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | ATDA - Dispatchers | 18-29 | 1 to 5 | ||
19 | 2022/08/24 5:28:45 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | This agreement addresses no issue to my satisfaction...not even on a minimal basis | Yes | We need a sustained strike even in the face of a back-to-work order. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 60 and above | 30 or more |
20 | 2022/08/24 8:31:55 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | No working conditions, attendance policies or meal allowance raises. Automatic no from me. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 30-39 | 10 to 20 | |
21 | 2022/08/25 6:17:48 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | There isn’t one thing we’ve asked for since the beginning that was giving to us we’ve been stagnant for well over 20hrs as raises go Never brought up to parity when wages were sacrificed to keep healthcare at 0. No quality of life insurances. This was a slap in the face | Yes | We deserve everything that the unions have originally wanted. This job has a lifestyle and sacrifice like no other job | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
22 | 2022/08/25 6:20:55 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 6 | Yes | I think it's "fine"...if all I wanted was the pay and healthcare. BUT, I wanted us to take advantage of the first opportunity in 30yrs to solidify some real protections for us and other crafts. I think we've been let down in that regard. Bottom line, disappointing but I'll probably vote "yes". I don't think we should risk losing the healthcare and money. | No | We are playing against public relations now and losing. The NCCC is ecstatic with these recommendations and made no qualms about sharing that feeling with the media, public, government, everyone. For us to strike now, will just look like a bunch of entitled union ass@#*es wanting too much. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |
23 | 2022/08/25 6:42:33 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Quality of life needs addressed and attendance | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 60 and above | 20 to 30 | |
24 | 2022/08/25 6:43:48 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | I wanted to see something done about the inhumane attendance policy. | Yes | The ability to strike is one of the cornerstones of having a union in order to stay on equal footing with our employers. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |
25 | 2022/08/25 6:52:10 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 30-39 | 10 to 20 | ||
26 | 2022/08/25 6:56:47 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Does not address the Draconian Attendance Policy! | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | |
27 | 2022/08/25 7:20:58 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | ||
28 | 2022/08/25 7:27:24 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | It doesn't address the horrible quality of life that we that we experience working on call 365 days a year. | Yes | I think a strike should be initiated and when we are ordered back to work by the president we should refuse until this is settled. It's been my long-standing befief that democrats would stand behind labor when push comes to shove and that all blew up in my face with the peb recommendation. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
29 | 2022/08/25 7:29:58 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | ||

32 | 2022/08/25 7:38:57 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Raise is not enough and self supporting pool boards is a bad thing. | Yes | I would strike now if they would let me. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 30-39 | 5 to 10 |
33 | 2022/08/25 7:43:21 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | In order for me to vote yes I need a dollar amount cap on health care. Not a percentage. I also need to see a compounded raise of 30% to vote yes. I also am prepared to walk after 20 years of service if we don’t get at least a 25% raise. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | |
34 | 2022/08/25 7:46:50 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Quality of life was NOT addressed ... | Yes | Need to improve quality of life for ALL employees | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 30 or more |
35 | 2022/08/25 7:49:14 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 10 to 20 | ||
36 | 2022/08/25 7:49:29 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Pay increase is insufficient, healthcare premiums will keep rising, nothing about attendance policy, nothing about meal allowance increase it’s costing employees to work in pool service. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | |
37 | 2022/08/25 7:53:55 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||

40 | 2022/08/25 7:54:52 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Qualify of life was not addressed adequately | Yes | Hi viz policy is b.s. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
41 | 2022/08/25 7:58:28 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Back in the day Railroaders were paid for their inconvenience and also their family's inconvenience. And now they want to compare us to other industries. It's appalling! | Yes | It's time that the unions stand together. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 10 to 20 |
42 | 2022/08/25 8:00:41 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | ||
43 | 2022/08/25 8:00:43 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | I know it's a double edged sword but we have to hold out for better. We damn well deserve it. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | |
44 | 2022/08/25 8:04:40 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | When two short lines got 29% and 27% and we would get 22% it’s a travesty | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | |
45 | 2022/08/25 8:06:31 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 8 | Yes | No | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | ||

47 | 2022/08/25 8:11:01 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
48 | 2022/08/25 8:13:25 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | It would be a no vote, because the PEB did nothing to address quality of life or attendance policies. The raise in my opinion should be at least 30%, and medical should have remained untouched. | Yes | Yes, the PEB recommendations didn’t go far enough, the railroads have proven not to bargain in good faith, so our only course of action is to strike and let congress get involved. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 |
49 | 2022/08/25 8:15:00 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 30-39 | 5 to 10 | ||
50 | 2022/08/25 8:15:36 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 8 | Yes | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 60 and above | 30 or more | ||
51 | 2022/08/25 8:19:22 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | It doesn't even keep up with the cost of living and doesn't address the lack of a schedule or the lack of any time off for unforseen situations such as sickness or emergencies. | Yes | There's more than one way to strike. The carriers have stated that we (the union employees) don't contribute to the profits, so it really shouldn't matter to the carriers if we strike or not, they should still be able to make the same amount of record profits they've been making for the last 5 years | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 10 to 20 |
52 | 2022/08/25 8:22:41 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 30-39 | 10 to 20 | ||
53 | 2022/08/25 8:25:15 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Rest days not discussed, attendance policy not discussed, pay raise inadequate to start | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | |
54 | 2022/08/25 8:25:54 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Having been "setback" due to PSR, my pay has also been cut. Not enough pay increase to help offset that lose. Also other pay differentals need to be covered, meal allowance, weekend differental, held away. Railroads have been making record profits off our backs and labor. we should be compensated! | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 60 and above | 20 to 30 | |
55 | 2022/08/25 8:26:51 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 60 and above | 30 or more | ||

57 | 2022/08/25 8:33:44 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
58 | 2022/08/25 8:36:04 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | Health care goes up and quality of life was not addressed except making it worse with self governing pools. | Yes | Not enough done | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |
59 | 2022/08/25 8:36:42 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | The PEB fell so short of expectations it's not even funny! They did not address the majority of our concerns! There will be a strike in September! | Yes | I will vote to strike! | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 5 to 10 |
60 | 2022/08/25 8:41:28 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Company continues record profits and still wants to raise health care, cut jobs and do more with less. When is enough enough. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
61 | 2022/08/25 8:48:32 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 10 to 20 | ||
62 | 2022/08/25 8:53:36 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Better quality of life | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 10 to 20 | |
63 | 2022/08/25 8:55:02 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | ||
64 | 2022/08/25 8:56:05 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | They addressed wage increases and a couple medical insurance changes, while also uncapping contributions. Real meaningful items were dismissed back to be negotiated. As if they haven’t been tried to be negotiated already. | Yes | Yes. And if congress enacts legislation to put us back to work, we should refuse. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |
65 | 2022/08/25 8:58:56 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | This PEB recommended contract is an insult. | Yes | We should have pulled a wildcat the day the recommendations came out. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 |
66 | 2022/08/25 9:00:55 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Did not address quality of life issues. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | |
67 | 2022/08/25 9:01:28 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | ||
68 | 2022/08/25 9:05:55 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 30 or more | ||
69 | 2022/08/25 9:06:17 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | ||
70 | 2022/08/25 9:06:40 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
71 | 2022/08/25 9:08:23 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | The pay increase will be offset by the increase in health care costs, and the elephant in the room is the availability issues for all the Class Ones, and they are not addressed at all. | Yes | Quality of life is a combination of economic and social aspects, and US industry has come to view labor as a non human resource to be used and abused. No one wants a strike, but this may be the only way to get the attention to our issues in a public forum. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
72 | 2022/08/25 9:09:13 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Healthcare shouldn’t go up and not enough money offered. Also needs to be something on terrible attendance policies. Quarterly bonuses would be nice too so the employees can reap the benefits as the company does. | Yes | Only if the unions fail to negotiate a reasonable contract during this 30 day cooling period. The union employees are looked down on and are just paid laborers that are identified by a number. We all worked through the pandemic understaffed due to company cuts to maximize record profits without any extra incentives. It’s time to stand together and fight for our family’s and brothers | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |
73 | 2022/08/25 9:09:40 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Better wages, and attendance | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | |
74 | 2022/08/25 9:10:26 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | The raise I think should be at least 6-7% per year and the health care should be capped where we are right now. One man crews should not be an option for the carrier to apply for in the future. Rest and fatigue needs addressed. A 10 hour call before work so I'm rested to go to work. Or calling windows. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | |
75 | 2022/08/25 9:12:17 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | This is not a raise. It’s a pay cut as even the PEB has acknowledged, and that’s before any heal h care premiums increase. The quality of life issues are even more important than money and that was not addressed at all. For decades we have been losing ground. This recommendation doesn’t even keep even with inflation and other costs. I will vote no. | Yes | We are tired of seeing our purchase power dwindling year after year. Carriers arbitrarily taking away and refusing to pay valid claims, changing the rules of the game outside the he perimeters set forth in the contract they agreed to. Tired of being a slave to the unpredictability of this lifestyle, sacrificing so much of our lives to delivering for these companies who in turn show utter sustain and disrespect of our contributions. By their own statements we don’t contribute to their success. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
76 | 2022/08/25 9:18:15 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 | ||
77 | 2022/08/25 9:19:01 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Pay is close but still off by a few percent. H/w I don’t like it says “ taking the cap off�. If they want it at 15% then just move the cap to 15%. And nothing else was resolved. What about meal periods? What about work rest? Way too many things not answered and if we don’t get it done now it will never change in mediation because the company will have no reason to mediate | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | |
78 | 2022/08/25 9:21:14 AM MDT | No | Yes | 3 | No | I don’t like the lack of employee protection and raises | Yes | The railroads are making record profits and getting tax payer subsidies from our government. With that they can afford better raises and work conditions. Better attendance policy | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
79 | 2022/08/25 9:22:14 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | There was nothing solved as far as quality of life issues, meal allowances, held away, & other compensation. | Yes | It is the only way we can get management, the public & government to hear our demands. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |
80 | 2022/08/25 9:25:29 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 4 | No | They just gave the middle ground with zero understanding on why they were chosen. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 18-29 | 5 to 10 | |
81 | 2022/08/25 9:26:41 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Quality of life | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 | |
82 | 2022/08/25 9:27:01 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | It's bullshit | Yes | "Labor doesn't contribute to profit" | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 |
83 | 2022/08/25 9:27:03 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Not enough pay increase and the fact that our health care got worse. We also still make $8 for our lunch. | Yes | Pay increased more. Insurance needs to be better. We put our lives on hold for this place and it doesn’t pay enough to do that anymore so people are quitting. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 30-39 | 10 to 20 |
84 | 2022/08/25 9:34:07 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 30-39 | 10 to 20 | ||

87 | 2022/08/25 9:35:11 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Time off and work rest was not addressed. Giving and extra personal day that is continually declined is not the answer. I have over 30 Carried over that I could not get approved. Time off that cannot be declined. Our personal days are company days not personal days. We get them when they say we can | Yes | See above response. Time off when we need it Plus 3% the year we worked through a pandemic and where essential is a joke. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |

90 | 2022/08/25 9:40:00 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 1 | No | Totally ignored everything we are facing in this industry. Pay raise not even close to inflation rate of increase. Not to mention the horrible working conditions with no time off to make Dr. Appt etc! | Yes | Now is the time to take a stand!! No more corporate Greed! | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
91 | 2022/08/25 9:45:36 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 2 | No | Yes the 22% is the highest raise in over 40 years but we were already behind and then add record inflation. Not enough. Also with the health and welfare going up it’s definitely not enough. | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 | |
92 | 2022/08/25 9:53:29 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | It isn't just about pay raises. Quality of life is important | Yes | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 5 to 10 | |
93 | 2022/08/25 9:58:28 AM MDT | Yes | No | 2 | No | Many issues are not discussed or resolved. I have never had a new contract without full back pay. We gave up cost of living increases last contract and now we don’t get all our pay. | Yes | Every contract we give up more and more, while the railroads make record profits. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 10 to 20 |

96 | 2022/08/25 10:05:25 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | The only part of the recommendations that is beneficial to us is the pay increase. Everyrhing else went towards the Carriers. Very upsetting. | Yes | STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 20 to 30 |

98 | 2022/08/25 10:08:44 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 3 | No | My concerns are about the lack of quality of life issues that have been ignored for way too long. I have been a railroader for 30 years. I feel I have earned a more scheduled and better quality of work time/home time equality than is being offered to us a whole. I don’t complain about my pay but compared to the way in which the carrier thinks of you as a machine and purely labor, not like a person, is demoralizing. That’s why most of us can’t be appeased by “money�. . | Yes | Again, I want a fixed schedule, 50 hrs or less work week. Fixed off days each week that the carrier can’t take form u at will. Then I would consider a tentative agreement. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 50-59 | 20 to 30 |
99 | 2022/08/25 10:08:48 AM MDT | Yes | Yes | 5 | No | Raises were ok and as I had expected, but It doesn't address important issues to me. Stop the endless roster calls for jobs that I dont have to cover, that make it impossible to be rested when I actually get a good call. The inability to schedule days off and have a guarantee that you will not be at an away from home terminal. A good train lineup for mainline trains. That is just a few things I'd like to see fixed. | Yes | I dont want to strike, but we are not left with a choice. Win or lose we have to let the carriers know we are serious about our demands of better quality of life. | BLET - Engineers & Trainmen | 40-49 | 10 to 20 |
