jromanva Posted February 13, 2014 Share #3001 Posted February 13, 2014 Hi guys. Went in today for medical processing and was sworn in, thank God! I was nerve wrecking because my information didn't transfer from the front desk to medical so I sat waiting until everyone else was called (I was originally #112) and when I finally asked why I hadn't been called they told me I had to get a new number. I then got #200 so I was practically last but it was all worth it! Is anyone else here starting 2/24? My list # 191x. Thanks for all the information provided here, it helped me prepare tremendously and kept me from panicking. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much time did you have in between the time you got called for the medical and the actual appointment. I'm in California at the moment so this is important to me.

jromanva Posted February 14, 2014 Share #3004 Posted February 14, 2014 Urbanfortitude I was in for the 1st d/t on 11/18, 2nd one on 1/27 and sworn in 2/12. They called me on Friday 2/7, at about 2:45, to tell me to come in on 2/12 ( I remember because I was getting ready for work and I threw up right afterwards) I hope this helps..

bc0v9g9 Posted February 15, 2014 Share #3006 Posted February 15, 2014 Congrats jromanva. I was #92x from the May 20 induction class. This list is moving super fast. GL to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allday Posted February 15, 2014 Share #3007 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I went down for processing on Wednesday but couldn't proceed because of a pending case. At the moment it's a misdemeanor but it will be dropped to a violation and a ACD. Has anyone in this form had a similar situation and what was the outcome?

BkBound Posted February 17, 2014 Share #3008 Posted February 17, 2014 Congrats jromanva!! Glad to see that things worked out for you. Thanks for letting the rest of us that are "patiently" waiting, know how far down the list they've gotten. Anyone else get the call to report for final processing? I took my 2nd D/T on 2/7. I was supposed to have taken it on 1/31 but I never got the letter. Thanks to this forum though, I noticed list numbers higher than mine being called for a 2nd D/T and I called to see what the deal was. I got it done but I hope the week delay in taking that D/T doesn't delay my call for final processing. List# 200x-201x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman Posted February 23, 2014 Share #3011 Posted February 23, 2014 Can you join the union in school car or afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTOMan Posted February 23, 2014 Share #3012 Posted February 23, 2014 Can you join the union in school car or afterwards? From what I was told you won't get union representation till after your probation is over. You belong to Schoolcar for that time. Meaning they can fire you for one infraction. Yes one.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk TWU Local 100 will make it firmly understood to you that they have your back from your very first day, but not to the FULLEST extent they say. That's what the union representative said. I take this as you basically better not screw up in front of any TSS's that wanna write you up, or get any customer complaints or get banged in. New conductors are basically taught to bang in T/Os that overrun stations or are constantly making hard stops, or wait until or remind the T/O to call rail control, otherwise it's both your asses. I hate it. That my brother is a good question! On your very first check you get hit with union dues, about 27 bux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted February 24, 2014 Share #3017 Posted February 24, 2014 You have union representation while you are on probation. The only things about being on probation: -You belong to Schoolcar. -You can be fired without a disciplinary hearing. This is because disciplinary hearings occur through Labor Relations. Since you belong to Schoolcar, Schoolcar is responsible for disciplining you, sending you for additional training, etc. Often the formality of a hearing does not occur. While field supervision will conduct their own investigations of any incidents, schoolcar handles the follow up. This is not a bad thing, as they tend to be more lenient than Labor Relations. Thus while the union can represent you, most times post-incident follow up is handled by the train operator directly with the training unit. However the union has gotten involved to help save probationaries in the past, particularly with instances relating to use of sick time as it pertains to TA extending the employee's probation period. Dues is about $27 out of every paycheck, so every two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTOMan Posted February 24, 2014 Share #3018 Posted February 24, 2014 Also remember this thing and trust me it helps, it has helped me..You are always on probation!!! Don't think just because you are off probation it means you got it made. Labor Relations is starting with termination these days.
