Truckie Posted January 16, 2013 Share #26 Posted January 16, 2013 I think some are getting confused with the MTA and TWU. They are completely different entities. Regardless if the MTA puts up gates or not, this has nothing to do with it. This was issued by the union and, as Dave said, is not an order from the MTA. The union can not tell MTA employees how to operate the trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin08 Posted January 16, 2013 Share #27 Posted January 16, 2013 Pelhamdave I was wondering about that how can the union tell TOs how to operate goin 10mph into every station your loosing time I cant see how that would happen..thats not MTA policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted January 16, 2013 Share #28 Posted January 16, 2013 The Union TWU can only suggest things to thier members they can't enforce anything because thats Management/Supervision job. The Union would have been more effective if they tell the members to obey the posted speed signs. That would have been more valid because if you hit someone and the posted speed is 15 and you did 25 thats not a good look. Also the notice is misleading it tells them if a supervisor harass you tell the union. So it sound like the TSS is just going to treaten to write you up and the union going to make it all better. That won't be the case they will be off the train and held out of service without pay until they see Labor Relations. So Labor Relations and union will hammer the arguement out rather the said Employee train operation was a Job Action or safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R211 10001 Posted January 22, 2013 Share #30 Posted January 22, 2013 If the motormen slow down, there's a chance that multiple trains might get cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ny Trucker Posted January 27, 2013 Share #31 Posted January 27, 2013 i dont think this works especially on the 7 line with 90 second intervals. With some stations on inclines a T/O has to approach at high speed so that momentum takes the train to the stop maker without stopping short or rolling back. whats next they gonna shut 3rd rail power off in the stations when it isnt being occupied by a train to prevent people from getting electricuted.

RTOMan Posted January 28, 2013 Share #32 Posted January 28, 2013 Well that 12-9 at 9th Street yesterday debunked that.. The Guy jumped at the 8 CAR MARKER.... Thats when the train is almost at a stop.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted January 28, 2013 Share #33 Posted January 28, 2013 I can't imagine what riding the line would be like if this actually went forward. It's an incredibly slow line as is - and really, the journey from the Rockaways to Manhattan is quite dull unless if you get an R32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about you but I can only enjoy the train car for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princelex Posted January 28, 2013 Share #35 Posted January 28, 2013 They need to sit down with that crap. People will still die on the tracks if the train moves at 5-10 mph. They will make my life as a conductor pure and utter hell if the were to implement this but luckliy the isn't that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes - being on an hour and 15 minutes ride on an R62A would drive me insane aswell (although if I got out of the train for a 10 minute break and then got another train of the same type I'd be alright). I'm just saying that completing the trip on a vintage car is far less irritating than on an R46. Plus, in the summer, the R46s are quite stuffy.
