Nobody's on strike right now, and according to reports, all of the unions have accepted agreements except the BMWE (track workers). So? ? That looks like a carrier issue.
Oh yeah. Didn't mean to imply it wasn't. More of a sign of a healthy economy thing.
Know a maintenance of way guy........massive turnover in that job. For good reason too.
Always been that way in the system gangs. Which is most of what's left. Not much remaining of the track jobs with normal hours and no travel. A lot of them are there only as a foot in the door, and move into the operating crafts and/or management.
