NASCAR Posted February 8, 2009 Share #376 Posted February 8, 2009 All one needs know, is the no layoff clause will never come back with the current Union Reps. We might pay more, and get 30/62. Whatever we get will be a win win for TA, as the current union has gave us lose lose. We still get treated like a number, by the higher ups. MTA won't be satisfied until they can work us so much, we all end up divorced or single, and die the day after we retire, so they can keep all the pension funds. ...Our goal is customer service, and to kill off the retired workforce soon after retirement......... I'm telling you right now...IF they give us 30/62,I WILL be looking into a plan B!It should be 20 and out!!!30 years is WAYYYY tooo long to be working in this environment!

NASCAR Posted February 8, 2009 Share #377 Posted February 8, 2009 Today was really BAD on the line!:tdown: The G-O's messed everything up because you got crews being20-30 minutes late due to track gangs and what not.The was also running to Astoria-Ditmars and it was a mess!!Anyways,on my last trip I was held out Astoria due to the excess of trains and this woman starts banging on my door...:confused:I open the door and she's asking me to make a call and tell SOMEBODY that we're stuck and we need to move ASAP! I tell her due to the G-O's we're backed up until a train leaves Astoria.She says to me"what's that train right there??"(pointing to a lay-up) I say "that train right there is a lay-up which is NOT in customer service." Ok so this guy jumps in the conversation and says "I'm gonna loose my job because I'm late!!" I say "I'm sorry sir,we will be moving shortly." Then he says "can you let me onto the tracks so I can walk to work?"lol...this moron wanted me to let him off the train so he could walk the structure to work!!!:eek: What was he smoking?? Imagine that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASCAR Posted February 8, 2009 Share #379 Posted February 8, 2009 Do you HAVE to talk to passengers? Can't you just ignore them? We TRY to be PROFESSIONAL and help out if we can...Now, if someone is being an @zz I'll either ignore them or put them in their place in a NICE way! That's the beauty of being a T/O because we don't come in contact that much with customers once we lock in that box...lol The C/R gets all the B.S.

At least a new hire knows what they are signing up for and have a CHOICE if they want the job or not. But when they screw us instead like with the last contract it's much worse!!

Pelham Bay Dave Posted February 11, 2009 Share #397 Posted February 11, 2009 All I have to say is again Welcome to the Department of Subways! You going to get those bad days major delays beyond your control and everyone is looking at you and going to ask the same questions but the C/R gets it more then the T/O as it was already said. Working the Lexington Ave Line PM Rush Hours made me learn how to deal with mobs of Irate customers. Something always happens. After dealing with that for most of my 5 Years as a C/R being a T/O in the B Div is like a vacation. As long as they don't throw something at you your good happen to me many of times mostly in the middle observing the platfrom but it don't happen as much anymore. Even with all that I experance I kind of like being a C/R over a T/O the only thing I don't miss is when something happens they crowd around you. However T/O goes got more benefits like more Money , In more control of your own fate (You have to be a TA Employee to understand that one). More job securty like if they go OPTO don't effect me.

NASCAR Posted February 11, 2009 Share #400 Posted February 11, 2009 I've always read stories about people throwing stuff at C/Rs but I don't get why someone would do that. What's the point?Some people are Idiots....the C/R is on the front line.God forbid you close the the door to quickly or the train is late,there is a GOOD possibilty you can get the BUSINESS.(spit,slapped,umbrella water,splashed etc.)For the MOST part it's the School kids, man they're BRUTAL!! They love to play pranks and hide behind the poles and time you perfectly.:tdown: That's the downside of observing the platform when the train leaves the station.I can't front, some C/R's are heartless too..lol I've seen them close the door on the elderly or if someone is trying to make an effort to catch the train by hauling @zz and.....BAM!!(YES,it happened to me!!) You better believe they closed that window before that train leaves...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
