In an effort to better communicate information as quickly as possible to the Local 60 Membership, here is the ” HOT TOPICS” for this week.
A) I am working on the LOST&FOUND “ELECTRONIC DEVICES” which are left by passengers on our trains. I have let the Carrier know that the FRA CFR rules conflicts with the Carriers Rules for dealing with these items. I have contacted the FRA, NJTPD, NJTRO and Ron Sabol NJSLD with my concerns about picking up these items and then being in violation of the CFR. I will continue to update all Members as more information becomes available.
B) Hoboken Parking Lot A will be closed over the weekend for repairs to the overhead gate, please see NJT Notice.
C) I urge all employees to please continue to fill out the FAIL TO MEET SLIPS. I will be meeting with Executive Director Corbett soon. I will bring with me all of your pink slips for missed transportation. I will inform Members via this forum on totals soon.
D) The Carrier is sending out reminder letters for Members to keep up to date on their EHOS submissions.
E) I met with the Carrier on claims and encourage all Members to continue to fill out 025 PENALTY SLIPS. I have notified the Carrier of my intent to progress these types of contract violations on the next SPECIAL BOARD of ADJUSTMENT from the National Mediation Board.
Please email me feedback or suggestions, I am here for you the Members. sburkert@utulocal60.com
