Pros
Railroad retirement is the only pro at this point.
Cons
Wage steeling thieves! They only care about profits for the shareholders. $5.8 billion in profit in 2021. Now they want to take away employees time at home. through lies and misinformation. They are reducing our time off from 7 days a month to less than 2 days. We are on call 24/7/365 nights, weekends, holidays without even a thanks. They are deliberately creating a man power shortage to try and force single person train crews. Something by law they have negotiate with labor for. They recently tried to file an injunction with federal court to force it. What they cant negotiate they take by force. With a manpower shortage they created by horrible working conditions they will lobby congress for a 1 man train crew. Making working conditions even more unsafe than they are now. Combine that with 3 mile and soon 5 mile long trains community's are not safe. All for the shareholder profits.
