>>2014605American railroads already bamboozled their employees into accepting hourly pay -- which completely fucked them sideways. We're not taking the bait. We get paid by the mile.
The companies are also trying to eliminate assigned jobs. Which means you can work in location A at 8am Monday, location B at 4pm Tuesday, and midnight on Wednesday. This is instead of having a known assignment for 5 days a week with a set weekend -- even if that 'weekend' is Wed/Thu or whatever.
Railroading is already a demanding and difficult lifestyle and they want to make things worse.
These are billion-dollar corporations and they're trying to nickel and dime hardworking employees. It's not happening.
