Health Care Changes
It is time to vote for your Health Benefits!
Remember if it gets voted down, it automatically goes to arbitration,
where we stand to loose more!
If it gets voted in, you will see an automatic
payroll deduction ( pre tax ) of $119.61, starting in November,2003.
(not on the half when your union dues come out)
The deduction will be reduced to $100.00
effective in July,2004.
If you think that the $119.00 per month is too high, ask your friends& family
( who work in the private sector)
what they pay for their
health care coverage. You will see that we are coming out ahead, still.
If you have any questions, please contact your Friendly Neighborhood Local Chairman.
(In my opinion we are getting a "shafting"
either way,
but if we vote it in...the powers that be will use lube.)

Things to Ponder
If you tie up your train at a milepost other than your final destination, enter the milepost that you tied up at on your time-ticket. If you are on a Switcher or Yard crew & are sent to bring in a train that went "dead", make sure to use the correct milepost on your time-ticket. Failure to do so violates F.R.A. Regulations.
(09/07/04)(10/05/04)
More News You Can Use
Remember, you CAN'T be fired for filling out an
ACCIDENT REPORT.
now if you get hurt on the job & fail to fill one out,
you COULD BE FIRED! If you get hurt, no matter how minor, let an official know about it. You have the right to ask for or deny medical attention. If an company official harasses you about being hurt...tell your UNION OFFICERS!
cause it's against the law!!

A Good Reasons to Join Or Stay a Member of the UTU
The Canadian Supreme Court rules in favor of a lower court ruling that the BLET "breached its statutory duty of fair representation in negotiating 3 items of a collective bargaining agreement" with VIA Rail which resulted in all conductor positions being eliminated. The BLET must pay as much as
$230000.00(Canadian) each to 230 former UTU Conductors. That's
$52,900,000.00 Canadian or $43,303,863.00 U.S.
Guess who is going to pay that money ..
The BLET members. If you don't want to pay higher dues,
Make the smart choice & stick with the UTU.
(04/06/05)(07/20/05)

Banner Tests (stickman) are on the rise, remember if you have any doubt as to if the engineer can stop short of the stickman, pop your "emergency brake" handle. The job you save may be your own.
Officials are performing cell-phone stings. They will call your cell-phone to see if you answer it. Avoid using your cell-phone while on duty. If an Official comes on the radio & request that you call them, wait till you can get to a company phone & call them from that location. Remember, CSX did not issue you a cell-phone nor pay your wireless bill.

If your call is busted after the On-Duty time, you need to complete a Time Ticket.
ie: A crew is called for 1900hrs at Home Terminal.
at 2000hrs, CMC calls & says the call is Busted.
You must complete a Time Ticket, you will also have a minimum of 4 hrs off before being called back to duty,
this crew was on duty for 1hr before being relieved, they hade 4 hrs off before being called back to work, they can only work for 11hrs. To be good for 12hrs of duty, they would have had to been off for 8hrs.
If you are at your Away-From-Home Terminal, & your call gets canceled after going on duty, your 4hrs does not begin until you check back into the hotel & contact CMC.

The need is greater that ever to register and vote for candidates who have a record of supporting American working men and women. We can no longer afford the luxury of not voting, or picking a candidate based on looks, family name, or hollow promises. Our support of labor endorsed candidates in 2006 is more crucial than any time in our history. Please urge your friends and coworkers to register and vote for the candidates who vote for YOU.
The carriers anticipate they will get everything they have ever wanted in an agreement in this round.
Their confidence and greed is fed by the large number of railroad management "graduates" in the Bush administration and the influence they have in congress.

Attention all UTU Members,
Someone in Radnor Yard has posted a letter on the bulletin boards regarding the proposed loss of jobs on the Hump. They had implied that the Members of UTU Local 1346 would stage a "Work Slow-Down".
We do not know who wrote this letter, we hope they wrote it with good intentions rather with the intention of hurting the UTU.
THE UTU DOES NOT CONDONE OR SUPPORT THIS ACTION.
The writer of that notice does not speak for the Union. Probably he (she) is feeling frustrated at the thought of loosing their job.
PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS ACTION
THANK YOU.

CSX is Rolling Out NEW LOCOMOTIVE seats!
I do not know about you, but those small seats are not that comfortable. A picture of the new seats can be seen in the June/July issue of "CSX TODAY" newsletter. They look real comfortable. I know I look forward to sitting in them. If you already have had a chance to sit & ride in a new style seat, please write a review and send it to Tony Garcia, ito@utu974.com.
