I urge all members to please protect our work. If you are on a rest day and are available to work, but not on a supplemental list, call the crew callers and let them know. We have many trains that are running short handed due to staffing issues, this puts the crews who are working these trains at a safety disadvantage. The assaults on train crews have risen dramatically lately and more staff on the train is good for our members and for the passengers. Please make yourself available to work so ALL crews are fully staffed. I ask that all crew members who were issued radios, please follow the rules and carry them at all times. If you were never issued a radio send me an email, I will get one assigned as soon as possible. We need to protect our work and each other, being on the property helps us all.
Fraternally,
Stephen J. Burkert
General Chairman
