- as main stream media play the fear mongering tactics with the American people over the potential railroad labor strike in December of 2022 you need to understand how this could effect you and what our government can do to ensure our nations economy doesn't crash. All of your class 1 railroads laid off over 30% of their workforce back in 2020 and now the reamining people have been worked like crazy with no raise during the pandemic, and no quality of life issues have been addressed. This is the problem. These men and women run this economy meanwhile all of the class 1 rake in billions of dollars in profits. It's time these carries wake up.

Without conductors those trains wouldn't move... STRIKE🎁🎄💯
Our demands need to be met. They need to take care of the labor that is helping making the company their money. It shouldn't be that hard.
No tip = No Trip
#Strike
In act of high handed arrogance the Congress is attempting to force acceptance of a contract which the majority of rail workers have rejected. The NPR coverage was biased to a jaw dropping extent. I expect a near universal lack of objective coverage.
NO TIP NO TRIP
The only way the strike is going to have any good effect is if the workers decide to actually do it regardless of what Congress says.
I agree but i guarantee you if they decide to force people back to work they will hold that back pay money over everyone’s head. Basically saying if you don’t go back you void your back pay payment.. i hope I’m wrong but we’ll see
@@Railroad_Talk Yeah, and I guarantee they'll use the the whole "we offered them more money" bit to paint the workers as the villains.
@@dinosar9230 The President, the congress, the unions, and the media, will portray the railmen as greedy villains. They act shamelessly because they have no shame.
They will come back , collect the bonuses and back pay and quit in droves and too many tie down trains and dwelled cars sit days and weeks in yards.
@@Railroad_Talk if the strike is successful, they'll get the back pay. Plus, all their demands and more.
I’m on Kyle Railroad in Kansas, and at our Union meeting we were told that if UP or BN were picketing at our interchanges or UP was picketing where we get on their main line, it’s up to us be we can just shut down the train and sit there and refuse to cross as “a hazard to our health”
At a hotel in McDonough & starting training tomorrow!
Nice! Good luck shawn! Holler if you need anything
Good. I go to Georgia 01/09/2023, and I’m looking forward to a new start.
Can you make at 80% 90k-100k in Illinois at UP ?
Yes.
@@Railroad_Talk yes sir appreciate you getting back to me bro
@@isaiahmoss7302 absolutely buddy. Sorry for the delay. Good luck man. Keep my posted on how things go. Always here if you have any questions.
I hope the workers demands are met because yall deserve it and I pray to be up next on the extra board God willing 🙏🏾
I have a question. Do CSX furlough conductor a lot?
In my honest opinion, I can see the strike happening on December 9th with a big chunk continuing to picket or walking out of the industry if they're forced back to work. Planning on going out that day to see what the railroad is like in my area.
There was a strike in 1978 know as the N&W rail road clerks strike that lasted apx 60 days I don't think today's rail road management could last 2 days. Keep up the good work
👍 no tip=no trip
92 lasted 3 days, I don’t think it’s the strike itself that will affect things but as soon as employees get there back pay there will be a good amount of retiring and quitting, especially if HIVIZ isn’t dealt with and if the healthcare is disturbed. The job is only getting worse and underpaid the checks not worth risking your health and life for. You can just work a 9-5 or worst case scenario 2 full time jobs, the amount of hours covered working on the rail could easily cover 2 full time jobs. 276 hours is maxed out for the month and that doesn’t include held away, at home on call, RSIA, vacation, Paid leave days, scheduled days off.
I wanted to become a train engineer but decided my time and health is more important than a few extra bucks.
@@bear2720 smart bear! You will live a lot longer
Which 1st-class railroad company do you think is probably the fastest to go from conductor to engineer?
I’ve heard Amtrak is the fastest, and I think that holds up because I’ve seen “Passenger Engineer Trainee” posted publicly along with Conductors of the respective title. My cousin works for CSX and I believe he got promoted to engineer in about 6 months but that might be rare. I’m not sure.
If there is no contract, I think the Railroads will force the lockout in order to force Congress to allow us back to work. The railroads will force the issue with Congress and we will have to settle for the same contract as we were offered.
I don’t know if I’m making the right decision, but I won’t know until I try. I’m going through my background check wit Norfolk now. I’m 48 and only have my 16 year old at home and my wife is all in about this opportunity so wish me luck!
Just give it a try and see what happens.
You’ll be fine. Easy peasy
Railroads know Congress will step in. That is why they drag there feet. Nagoiate in good faith. Total BS.
I had a man come up to me in a Sheetz (gas station). He had seen me stepping out of the taxi and knew I worked for the railroad. He had a yard job of some sort and asked me if we were going to strike. I'm still new to all of it and felt bad I didn't have an answer for him. I just told him historically strikes don't amount to much and the president would just force people back if it became an issue.
I’m definitely getting the hoodie and the beanie
I appreciate the support Cavion!
Ayy No Problem
Heard their was an Agreement reached this week any info on this?, I used to be a UP Conductor, my dad is still there and according to him they settled?
Did your dad ever see a ballot?
I work in a different industry and my union forged the last vote.
@@PadraigTomas thats a good question ill have to ask him
Let us know.
Nailed it and that merch looks siiiiiiick!
All they guys I work with in Birmingham want to strike, but also are upset of the possibility, due to all the incentives it will disrupt right before/after the holidays.
Hey Michael my name is Mike aswell. I’m going thru the onboarding process now and getting ready for training for Conductor. They’re placing me in Birmingham after my training, i currently live in Knoxville, TN. Figured I’d introduce myself since you’re already in Alabama on-site.. Get bk to me plz..
Richardson Hats are the best!
I agree, I'm still studying and preparing for training. it's always been a political and scare tactic for those who listen to and follow the hype. I know this and I know I will be heading to Georgia next training session, I missed the 0ne on the 28th so I've been taking this time to prepare. I have my boots, printed off the N&W & southern signals and recieved my grip tool for improving my grip today. This will be my career no matter how shitty at first or continuing. My wife and family are very understanding so I have a green light to follow through. It's always 75 and sunny on the Railroad.
A strike isn't going to happen. Conductors are going to be given PEB 250 or TA and that'll be that. We were supposed to strike like 3 times this year..
BLET has accepted the contract.
So if you been around and know the past history, they want future 1 man crew contracts. It's going to happen no matter what.
Awesome channel
Nice gear
I jus need it to last for 8 hours lmao . That’s pay day lmao
I appreciate your quick answer. Are they hiring? Lol
They are always hiring it seems like lol
Hey Brother it’s Mike again, I messaged you the other day. I just got hired w NS & I’m waiting to go to Conductor Training in GA. I wonder if I could do some videos on the training while I’m there and we could work together on them somehow..? HMU and let me know what you think Bro.. Great videos man..💯🙏🏽🇺🇸
I’m definitely gonna order some merch soon too btw
When does the training start?
I’m going through the background now. I live in Ga and I’m about an hour away from the training facility
@@jeromechristian1321 im going thru the background check now wait to take my pre employment drug test and physical… hopefully Monday/tomorrow I will hear bk from them..
@@jeromechristian1321 Do you happen to know where they’re wanting to base you out of ? They’re wanting to put me in Birmingham, AL. and I’m from Eastern Tennessee. I would much rather be based in North Carolina somewhere because it’s close to Home plus I grew up there.. Can we change where we’re supposed to go ?? Get bk to me when you can Brother..
@@EastCoast.80 I still be in Atlanta. My buddy works for the corporate office and he said I’ll basically be working in Chamblee ga
