When I left the railroad back in early 80's there was no such thing as remote control. There was wild stories, about things like that, but no one believed it could ever happen. I would like to know who is getting all the money that is saved from not having a four or five person crew? Is the one person crew paid well to do the same job as it took 4 or 5 to do? If your union signed a remote control agreement, did they not take good care of the employee? Can you imagine the savings for the railroad? They are saving, not having to pay wages to 3 or 4 other people. The savings have to be in the millions of dollars. What could the company, be doing with all that money? I know they don't spend it on employee relations. I don't care if they only have one employee on a train, that one employee, should be compensated well. It won't be long, that the one operating employee with his remote control takes the train to certain spot at the yard limit sign, on the main line gets off, and a person in a building 500 miles away operates that train to destination. Its only a matter of time. Get your paychecks now, because in the near future there won't be one, to get!
