[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Junctionfan</i> <br /><br />I need signalmen, train crews, mow crews, office staff, police. Since I operate in Canada as well as the U.S it might be several than just the four unions. Any recommendations on how I should do this? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I think you need to read into this more and make some decisions based upon your research. There is no "right" answer. Just remember that the choices you make may have consequences such as strikes or jurisdictional disputes that will cost you money in the long term. These are just part of the problems you will face and although you will have Labor Relations and General Counsel (and their staff) to help you, the ultimate decision will rest with you. We are literally talking about large stakes so it is a CEO decision. <br /> <br />Also, I question your need for a police department. RR police are very expensive and don't produce any revuene. Why have them at all? Your insurance rates will be significantly higher for liability coverage with armed police on staff. Insurers see police and think "Rodney King"... <br /> <br />LC
