Are the Dispatchers unionizing

Make sure yall are doing what you're suppose to be doing on these trains. Management is saving the footage to release 100s of hours of guys sleeping, not doing roll byes, not doing paperwork to give to Congress to get 1 man crews.

Up posted on their website the news of another fatally injured employee with 11 years of service. 34 year old conductor ki-led in Wisconsin.

Heard we had another conductor fatality today. Got hit by a metra train while walking his freight train. Heard it was another “new guy”. How many fatalities do they need before they see they need more training?

I see they have electrician spots in ft worth open, but I have heard only bad about up. Really don't want to go thru training only to get furloughed a few months later.
