Union Tpke Posted July 1, 2020 Share #9551 Posted July 1, 2020 On 6/29/2020 at 8:09 PM, Bill from Maspeth said: The union did not want them running. Period. Since the R32's are supposed to be running Wed. July 1 as per newspaper reports, I suppose the union lost their "appeal". If they went to an arbitrator IDK. Maybe the union just expressed their concerns and transit is blocking off the front of the cabs to the satisfaction of the union, IDK. But management has a lot of power. For example if the union does not like a new work program ( jobs/schedules the workers pick) they can complain all they want, but management has the final say. The union has given up a lot in RTO for recent contracts. "If you give this and that up you get your raise" . RTO gives it up and the fruits go to every TWU represented worker in the company. Train Operators and Conductors always vote "NO" on contracts. There's a lot of politics involved with unions anyway. But no matter how much the workers are disenfranchised with their union (any union) "A lousy union is better than no union". You young ones will realize this someday. My advice: never work for a company that has a lot of workers with no union. I did before transit. A bank, and the company treated us like sh**, worse than TWU would ever do. That's the problem with Amazon. All the company needs to hear or see some guy is trying to organize one, he'll get fired with some trumped up BS charges. But I'm getting too far off topic...... Thank you. I really hope that Dems, if they take the Senate and Biden wins undoes one of the most damaging pieces of legislation in American history, the Taft-Hartley Act of 1946, which allowed states to pass right-to-work laws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tall order for the party. As long as the inspectors keep "For Want of a Nail" in mind, we should be okay once the R179s return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there enough R160s to do the rest. To my knowledge they only have 11 R160s assigned to the which would leave 7 more trains needed for full service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without asking. Sometimes people have insider information that isnt disclosed to the public. If that isnt the case here, just say so. For future reference, a yes or no would do. On a separate note, I have had this account for at least a year, I dont know who that Rigojefte guy is who keeps responding in a slurred and incoherent fashion.

subwaycommuter1983 Posted July 12, 2020 Share #9567 Posted July 12, 2020 Let's not get impatient. This long wait is actually a good thing because it will ensure a strong and triumphant return of the r179's. It's a matter of when, but they will be back, no question about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those went back for thorough inspection from what I hear, NOT service. I know you didn’t say they went to their respective locations for service but someone here will take your update and RUN far with it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's just 4 cars, it's sandwiched in front of an R32. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
