They have been hiring A&P's for a long time. I interviewed and was offered but ended up going somewhere else. I know people who went with them. Tough work, shifts, seniority, no sick time and railroad pension.

The electricians have it better than the locomotive shop. They also have a telecom group.

Good luck to all.

Maybe I have to be the bearer of horrifying news, ...............maybe ?
Here at AMTRAK, the Carmen(inspections/brake changes) are represented by...(drum roll please) the TWU
Although our Loco Mech's/Loco Tech's are IAM.

Also, the RR Biggest boys....B N S F are most likely hiring too.

Yes, Good luck to all !!!!!

Don't worry Bears --- if Mitt cuts off Federal funding for Amtrak, you'll have a chance for the TWU to let you down again.

$25.10 is all you will make. Was told in my interview with UP that 25.10 is the current pay rate until a new contract is voted in with the union.

 

[Joe Patroni]

Wow, nothing has changed with the Railroads. When I applied in 2005 when after I took the street from AA, that was the pay at the time and they said the same thing about raises. While I know everyone needs to work, I just have one question: Why go and work for another company that is still under the RLA? Just thinking out loud........

Look who they've got negotiating for them...:-/
Yep...."Idiots Against Mechs".

What it tells me is that the railroad has not had a contract in almost ten years. Again I ask, when you leave a company that is subject to the Railway Labor Act, why would you go work for another company that is subject to the same thing. Why torture yourself?
