Perhaps when the C1's start treating their labor like an asset instead of a liability.. Maybe things will change... Or not..

C1's don't value the people that make it all happen!  Those people are not in the Board Rooms.  Railroads that thrive, do it despite their management's efforts - not because of management.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

The author, Gil Lamphere, was an executive at both Illinois Central and Canadian National during the time that Hunter Harrison ran those railways.  Labour was most certainly not viewed or treated like an asset during that time.

Don't have to go further than the contract "negotiations" to see that. 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.
