I have recently been offered conditional employment with BNSF in Birmingham, AL as a conductor. I currently work for NS as a conductor in Birmingham. I know what the training pay is for BNSF while cubbing, the interviewer said that pay is based on 48hrs. a week. What if I end up working 60+ hrs. a week like when I cubbed NS, is the pay the same or do they pay overtime while cubbing?

Also what is the conductors guarantee a half and pay for detention time (when does it start), late supper, no supper, deadhead, etc...

I know most people think everyone at other Class 1's have it better than they do. I want to make sure I am not jumping from the pan into the fire. Example.... I always heard that CSX pays a second days pay for any hours worked after 10, I talked to a CSX conductor and found out that was false.

I would love to talk to a BNSF conductor working out of Birmingham, AL if there is one on here.

Recently Parliament thundred benches on annoncement of Indian Railway Budget. Our politicians do not appear to feel sorry for the loss of innocent lives due train blasts. railways also do not have adequate Infrastructure to support operations, Poor Sanitation, People are found shitting and urinating near Stations,
This is obivious Railways will make profit If they carry 1000 passengers in a compartment of 70 passengers and if they do not spend adequately on infrastructural facilities.
Reducing Rail Fare from Rs 1 to Paisas 75 is no reason to feel happy for congress

I see trains logging a very large number of carts, typically freight trains. They go on and on for a very long disatnce. Wouldn't it be easy to get onto the train (including stops the train makes and when it's moving) and just get off with a load of stuff? Isn't that a safety issue?

I am a fairly new railroad employee and a little confused about the role of the unions, in this day and age.

I worked in a steel mill almost 18 years and was a member of the USWA the entire time. So I know something about unions.

I am trying to figure out the BLE AND UTU. If I ask a conductor or engineer about the role of the union they seem to get offended when I don't accept the standard answer of "we need them". In my past experience the biggest, and only "trump card" the workers had was the right to strike. When that is no longer an option, such as with the railroads, what other leverage do we have.

Railroads have very deep pockets and it seems too easy for them to pass some money to the right union or govt. people to get what they want. What are we going to do, quit the union? We can't, union dues is like paying rent for our jobs, you quit paying, they repo the job. Union dues keeps going up and the return on our money keeps going down.

So, what can we do?
