QUOTE: Originally posted by sammythebull As a UTU member based by what Gunn has said on record this yr concerning Amtrak labor, I have to say his ousting is a step in the correct direction. In a May hearing on Capitol Hill, Gunn clearly stated that he wanted to change all labor contracts, cut wages, slash benefits, cut asst condr off trains, expand runs w/only one engr in the cab, slash rr retirement for new hires, out source work currently done by Amtrk paid workers, open routes to scab non union operators and cancel the Federal Employee Liability Act and working conditions free from the Railway Labor Act. UTU has gone on record stating Gunn is the worse head of Amtrk they have ever dealt with. Gunn is the first to directly attact its dedicated work force. I want to see Amtrk suceed but changes are going to have to be made in how things are done. Messing w/a skilled and dedicated work force is not one of them. Now if we can get Mineta unemployed and out on the street, then that would be a five star slam dunk.
