Anybody have laborers taking over service track still on BNSF? Hire more and more laborers but no actual craft employees can’t help but think home location is going to turn into a fuel and go have lots traffic in and out of yard especially with interchange with other class one and intermodal. For whatever reason the company isn’t hiring any more craft. Thoughts?

So, if each skilled craft person costs way over $100,000 a year with all included benifits, that incentivized the railroad to hire less skilled people to do the jobs . Is it really that hard for you to understand who you are being replaced with ? SE ?!
I work mainline fuel depot. I’m a machinist and when I retire they will not replace me with a machinist or a laborer. Laborers are doing inspections and little repairs. The locomotives are showing disrepair.
We can't get laborers to take out the trash, lol.
For some reason that "craft" attracts the worst "workers". It's an idea so daft, so stupid, so vacant of forward thinking that I feel confident in saying yes, BNSF will definitely do that.
@dj oh that's hurts. Can't call my house a trailer anymore. I took the wheels off, needed them for my sis.
I think laborers are lazy and always complain and think they are the hardest worker. All the laborers buy the most junk and never put any money in their houses and have 5 campers, 6 trucks, 4 jet skis, 5 boats and drive junk. Typical railroader, lets see how much junk trash i can buy and drive and make it the worst house on the block. All laborers are trailer trash.
My only thought is that your post is incoherent, rambling, and devoid of content. Please re-do it. Remember to use clear sentences and proper punctuation for enhanced readability.
