Speed Control Update

May 29, 2015 By

As posted on njtc3rs.com:

In the wake of the Metro-North accident, NJT’s C3RS PRT developed a correction action (presented March 24, 2014) recommending installing Approach Permanent Speed Limit Signs at locations where there is a 30MPH or more drop from Maximum Authorized Speed. At that time, the Support Team indicated that it had a more effective solution, Cab Signal Indication Code Reduction, a.k.a. “phantom code drops” utilizing the existing cab signal system. We also submitted a list of 9 locations that the PRT felt were a priority.

The PRT has been informed that our Recommended Corrective Action has been approved and the installation of the signs and code drops has begun. A list of sites will be published by NJT in the next few weeks.

Local 60 C3RS update

March 19, 2015 By

Members,
Our General Chairman is still in talks with the FRA and the Carrier regarding our continued participation in the C3RS program. The deadline for our exit from the program has been extended to May 15, 2015.

Until that date, or until our General Chairman advises us otherwise, I’m reminding all members that we are still covered by the C3RS program and reports will be accepted until such notification.

Effective March 1, 2015 the UTU/SMART Safety teams are suspended.

February 28, 2015 By

The safety teams that monitor each rail line and  meet with the Carrier on a monthly basis are being suspended. All information from past meetings will be reviewed and evaluated. Upon completion of this review a decision will be made on how to proceed for the future. This suspension is in no way a reflection on the fine work done by past and present Members. The decision to re-evaluate our participation was made with each Members safety in mind.

Pink Time cards Debut on Monday March 2, 2015

February 27, 2015 By

The new pink colored time cards are ONLY for missing days or shortages. If you feel that NJ Transit still owes you days (vacation or personal) or you have never been paid for an assignment that you worked in the past, use this new time card. If you feel that you have been shorted in your pay, and it has never been corrected, use the pink time sheet. The company is willing to go back and research” legitimate” claims of missing monies that are owed to our Members. They must be on the pink copies only. The cut-off date to submit the pink cards is April 15, 2015. If you fail to submit it by that date the amnesty period will be over and you will not be paid. There will be no payments made to Members  until after the 4/15/2015 deadline and verification is made on the ” legitimate” claims that were submitted.

Stephen J. Burkert

General Chairman
