    These guys work 12 hours on, 12 hours off, 6 days a week, on call 24/7 and it's still impossible to give them a little break.

      72 hours a week, and still asked if I could put in more.
      And now the LARGEST UNION BUSTING OPERATION in history has begun.
      All thanks to the Democratic-Socialists.

    I just started working for CSX back in August every Monday at the CSX REDI Center in ATL they bring in classes of 60 conductors because the overturn rate is over 90% I'm about to quit myself NO SICK TIME ON CALL 6/7 DAYS A WEEK absent attendance policy 80 points Max 7 points per day 10 points for miss call only received 20 points taken off for good attendance after 6 months so u better not get sick or have a family emergency you're only guaranteed 1 day off per week on the extra board none on the pool board they have until 8 p.m. the day before your day off to call you for work SO if they do call cancel all your plans on your day off because you're working now 🤣once u get back home 2 days later they will give you 24 hours off instead of the required 10 hours rest to make up for your day off that u missed but after u get your regular 10 hour rest now u only have just 14 hours of your day off to enjoy 😡and they can call you 2 hours before your day off is over to report exactly at the 24 hour mark they rush us through training because they're so short-handed so majority of new hires are having derails and accidents every day I know a lot of you guys will say you get paid a lot my average annual income for right now if I keep working at CSX will be around 75k but I can work at other jobs and make close to that but with better benefits and less drama & 2 days off per week & paid sick days ONE LAST THING WE DON'T PAID PER HOUR it's BY the JOB/MILES SO THEY WILL KEEP U AT WORK 12 HOURS minimum EVERY DAY ONLY 10 HOURS OFF RIGHT BACK AT WORK TO DO ANOTHER 12 HOURS WE BE SO TIRED & SLEEPY ALL THE TIME AT WORK I'M DONE WITH CSX "labor does not contribute to profits" according to CSX so why are you guys so scared to let us strike answer that question CSX 🖕

      Thanks for sharing your experience. 'You Nailed It! I wish you well. I did it for 37 years in SoCalif and what is going on NOW is unheard of. You can't push people to the limit and not expect the injuries, derailments, and employee fatal injuries. I've seen the results of entire headend crews falling asleep. Resulted in multiple fatalities, injuries, derailments. Screw the derailments, it's the injuries and fatalities I'm concerned about and allowing a guy a family life again.

    I currently work for CSX i started back in August a lot of the senior railroad workers are saying once they get their back pay they're leaving I'm ready to quit right now but i'm thinking the same thing even though it's going to be a little back pay since i just started but I'm going to wait until I get that back pay myself then quit because this being on call 24 hours 7 days a week is ridiculous I can't even go to the doctor I had to bookoff and receive points just go to the doctor 7 points per day the Max is 80 no sick time and CSX also keeps messing up my sleep schedule one day I can go to work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. the next 7pm to 7pm the next day 7am to 3pm the next day 3am to 3pm the next day 3pm to 3am no wonder I'm already getting sick I'm stressed out I'm depressed i'm not eating regularly I'm losing weight fast I have already lost 15 pounds since I started this job back in August i'm just DONE

    Not sure about truck drivers, but there's not a lot of union or unity in that industry. Don't believe the non union drivers have paid sick days, not sure about the unionized ones, but think if there was a nation wide truck strike, we would be in seriously challenging times.

    15 days times hundred thousand workers on top of the 24% raises plus 2 year retro pay and a $5000 bonus. Lol that’s not greedy I don’t know what is. Railroad companies already said there is sick pays already. Can you be honest and say Union workers are underpaid. Just look at the costs that going to pass down to every thing and you wonder why we have such high inflation.

    • @unadillariveroutdoors9690
      @unadillariveroutdoors9690 2 года назад

      You are very sadly mistaken and misinformed about this contract as well as sick days which we do not have. We have what are called sickness benefits and in order to qualify for them you would have to be out of work for say a broken arm where you would be under a drs care. If you have a cold or the flu and ur out for 4 days u don’t get paid unless you use vacation. As far as the raises go the 24% is over 5 years, so from 2019-2024. Also we don’t get a 5k bonus all at once it’s 1k per year. Insurance is jumping substantially. So now take ur raise, ur backpay and bonus and take 47%-55% depending on where u live in taxes, pay ur tier 1 and tier 2 out and pay ur insurance out. So say someone is owed 11k in backpay, 3k in bonus that’s 14k. Now take half in taxes, now ur at 7k, take tier 1 and tier 2, now ur at 5800, take insurance and now ur at $5400. So this big win everyone thinks is a huge raise and bonus isn’t all it’s made out to be by the media. Read the contract and understand each part of it before you come up with an uneducated version in ur own head. Also I implore you to come out to the railroads and swing a hammer all day with us and see if u can hack it, all day everyday hot summer freezing cold winters. We are built different that’s why the turnover rate is so high
