[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by sammythebull</i> <br /><br />The union agreements state that after an incident takes places that warrants a possible company investigation, the carrier has 30 days to decided to call one or not. After the testimony takes place by crewmembers involved, union reps, carrier witnesses and perhaps others, then the carrier has 30 days to hand down any suspensions. To say that the NS crew involved was "fired" is not totally correct. They may have been pulled out of service for thetime being. It will be probably another 4-6 wks until a final decision is made on the issue. This is the general prodedure that takes place when bads things happen out on the ballast. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />For them not to do their work, and actually check that the switch was alligned wright is criminal, they can get tried for criminal negligence for that, and should. There is no excuse for not checking on that when you know what is at stake. If in my line of work, I funded a loan without checking if I had the right wire info, I would be fired on the spot, and so should they. <br />Brad
