Rairoads in trouble? (supply chain)

[Chrishaune]

17,000 bnsf operators are trying to go on strike. The hours being imposed on them in a new ruling put them and all railways in extreme danger. If the union wont allow them to strike, its expected that half will up and quit. Either way, the transport of goods by railway is about to stop!! Ive been told to get anything i might need, IN HAND, before February 1st. This is serious folks!!

Something to watch.....






17,000 union employees for BNSF prepare to strike

A new work policy at BNSF Railway that starts Feb. 1 has prompted more than 17,000 employees to decide to go on strike over what they call “the worst attendance policy ever.”

The SMART Transportation Union released the following statement: “This unprecedented BNSF policy repudiates direct and clear contract language and, in application, will attempt to force our members to report for duty without regard for their medical condition as we struggle to come out of a pandemic,” the presidents said. “It also stands to take away any ability by our members to avoid working fatigued when they are routinely called without warning due to the complete lack of reliable train lineups, thus creating the potential for an even more unsafe railroad operation. So-called ‘forced overtime’ in an industry where safety is so critical not only repudiates our agreements, it stands to enact irreparable harm on hundreds of full-time employees whose non-workplace obligations prevent them from being at work every day of their life.”

BNSF’s new Hi-Viz policy is a points-based system which penalizes employees — who in many cases have no assigned days off — any time they take time off work for practically any reason. In a FAQ that BNSF sent out to its employees, the carrier claimed that they “must improve crew availability to remain competitive in the industry” and that their revised Hi-Viz program helps with this issue “by incentivizing consistent and reliable attendance.” BNSF goes on to claim that a reduction in absenteeism will improve predictability of work assignments. However, the affected employees and their unions have made clear that they view BNSF’s approach to this issue as a juxtaposition. That is: if the carrier instead focused its efforts on predictable scheduling of assignments and competent management of its furloughed employees, there would be no need to impose such draconian attendance policies.”

You have to understand his intermodal containers are running on these same BNSF controlled railroads.


Who owns BNSF? Warren Buffet's company Berkshire Hathaway.

Breh I wouldn't be surprised if this is a scheme by these billionaires to take full control of the financial system. Crash the economy and take control. Make everybody go to the digital dollar and be able to monitor everything people do with their money. The Feds already came out this week talking more about bringing a digital dollar to the financial system.
