Why didn't they ask for national barganing on this as a part of their Section 6 notices? <br /> <br />This was simpler whey the Eastern Railroads cut wages 10% and the trainmen responded by burning down Pittsburgh![:)] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />it was asked in the section six notices!!!! go to the utu web site and you will see that the railroads propose the ablilty to call conductors when they want too on what train they want too. the crew constist is the only thing protecting the conductors. if the court decides to deslove the crew contist the railroads will not ever have to call another conductor on a road train ever again!!!! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The UTU better get ready for some very tough negotiations. If the carriers provide job protection to current trainmen Congress will not be on the UTUs side. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Are railroads allowed to strike? If so, would that be a loud enough voice to get attention? Though now that I think about BNSF had a short strike not long ago I seem to remember, was like 6 or 12 hours?????
