General Chairman Burkert’s Weekly “HOT TOPICS” News

June 15, 2018 By

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 attended the New Jersey Transit Board of Director’s Meeting this week. I attend the monthly meetings regularly to keep current on issues that affect our Members. I did publicly address the NJT Board this month over the issue of Lost and Found Electronic Devices. I explained that NJT has rules that we must collect lost items including phones, but in doing so it violates the FRA rules. I am working with the Carrier on revising our NJT Rule and a letter has already been sent to the FRA for their input. I will continue to keep the Members informed on this issue.

B) I was made aware that the BLE was in discussion with the Carrier about a provision in their Collective Bargaining Agreement that would affect wages. I asked the Carrier for an explanation of those discussions and their effect on SMART TD Members. This is the response from Labor Relations

“We do not have a final agreement in place yet, however, to be clear, the engineers are NOT getting a 10.4% pay increase. There is an existing rule in the BLE agreement which provides for a 10.4% pay differential between engineers and conductors. This rule has been in the Agreement since the start of NJTRO in 1983.   When Conductors were afforded the Conductor certification payments in the last agreement, those conductor certification payments served to reduce the engineer-conductor differential to less than 10.4%.  The “new” 15 minute straight time payment will restore the 10.4% differential, as provided in the BLE agreement.”

C) All Members, if you are having CREWCALLER ISSUES, please go to the home page of this site utulocal60.com , you will see a new tab in the header labeled crew caller issues. Please fill in the appropriate information with as much detail as possible. We will be addressing these issues with the Carrier.

D) I met with Members in NY Penn Station this week and listened to their concerns about a wide range of issues. I  did discuss current events not only on our property but in Trenton. I will continue to visit different locations in the future to get feedback from the Members.

E) I have requested a meeting with the Carrier over the latest round of social media slander against our train crews. I have requested that our Customer Service Department be involved who are answering the twitter rants that are putting our Members safety in jeopardy. If the Carrier is going to validate this type of information as factual, without any investigation, I intend to protect the rights and safety of our crews.

F) Any student who is in class or who is qualifying, you are allowed to work your relief days as long as it does not interfere with your classroom hours. You must be rested to return to class or qualifying on the proper day. Please make yourself available to the crewcallers if you wish to work. If the crew callers refuse to allow you to work your relief day, see ITEM C above, fill out the form with as much detail as possible.

Please email me feedback or suggestions, I am here for you the Members. sburkert@utulocal60.com

Fraternally,

Stephen J. Burkert

General Chairman

Voter Registration Information

June 14, 2018 By

Earlier today, the Supreme Court of the United States allowed the state of Ohio to remove registered voters from the rolls if they have not voted in a while.

This decision potentially paves the way for millions of infrequent voters, or those who moved recently, to be disenfranchised across dozens of states.

Text MY VOTE to 21333* to check on your voter registration status today or visit this link directly.

Please forward this email to at least five of your friends and family to make sure they also can keep current on their voter registration.

General Chairman Burkert’s Weekly “HOT TOPICS” News

June 7, 2018 By

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

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) June 1 starts GAS MILEAGE AMNESTY,please use the “pink gas mile sheets only”. Please list all missing or unpaid gas miles and tolls. The open period to submit will run until July 15. You are allowed to submit any partial or missing miles/tolls from January 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018.

D) I attended a SLEEP APNEA meeting with the Carrier in trying to streamline the entire process. I am pushing for an updated policy that is not a financial burden on our Members. I hope to have more news in the coming weeks.

E) Passenger crews will see Mobile Validation Device Team Members working on your trains. The Team Members are testing a new type of phone that will be able to validate train tickets via scanners. I wish to thank the MVD Team Members for their effort.
