Jls will suffer a large loss of employees before the beginning of July. Rls will also take a huge hit as they continue to phase out that shop. Rls could face up to 50 percent loss of workers and jls up to 25 percent

Tomorrow if the unions merge the seniority lists with SCX and RLS they are doing a disservice to the guys at RLS. Just because they are only 2 miles apart doesn't mean we should be on the same list. Each shop is their own entity, and it's not fair to... — read more

Talks and chatter going on here in the south about how Bellevue locomotive will have its work cut up and sent to various other shops. Rumor is the company will announce this to them in a meeting and offer relocation. Remember this is rumor!
