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) We have added a reporting form on this website as recommended at our latest meeting, click on top of page“CREW CALLER ISSUE”. If you encountered a crew caller issue please use this form to give full details. This form acts in a similar way to our uniforms or payroll shortage forms. I ask that you give as much detailed information as possible so the issue can be investigated properly. Please include times, caller name and all pertinent details. This will notify all officers of your issue and enable us to track and categorize problems.
B) The PINK AMNESTY MILEAGE forms are out on the property. If they are not at your location please email me at sburkert@utulocal60.com so we can replenish that area. This form is turned into the timecard box, please keep a copy for yourself. It will cover a time period from 1/1/2017 through 2/28/2018 for any missing or unpaid tolls or mileage. If you no longer have original toll receipts please list that on the form.
C) Any Member who is looking to work their relief day please contact the crew caller office the night before you are willing to work. This weekend in particular, there are several events going on and the Carrier will be providing extra service to the events. The Carrier will be looking for extra help from Friday through Sunday.
D) The MOBILE VALIDATION TEAM did meet this week to go over the initial data on testing. The team scanned approximately 8000 tickets, either monthlies, weeklies or dailies in their first week. The team did provide the Carrier insight on improvements that could be made and will be testing again this week. This testing is only the beginning process to see if it is even feasible to use the device on our trains.
Please email me feedback or suggestions, I am here for you the Members. sburkert@utulocal60.com
Fraternally,
Stephen J. Burkert
General Chairman
