Sir, I'm not going to flame you for anything. But the railroads would dearly love to have work rules that would simplify employment peaks and valleys and still maintain an established level of fair pay for a fair work period. Hiring and layoffs are not done without planning or forthought. It's just not an easy process, especially with the complexity of T&E payroll. Over my 35+ years on the RR, though, I have seen many improvements. When I came to work, it was a 16 hour day, now 12. And we're making strides with time off,rest periods, call times, sleep deprivation, etc. <br />Regards and have a safe day! gdc
