Thousands of packages looted in California train yard

[DriveInDriveOut]

Well, apparently the company agreed to it, it is obviously going to fall well short of their goal. This is from article 26 of the NMA.


Section 6. Removal of Loads from Rails
In order to enhance employees’ opportunities to obtain a full-time job and improve the Company’s ability to reduce time-in-transit and improve service, the following provisions will apply:
1. The Company commits that the number of new drivers needed to remove loads from the rail shall be, at least, two thousand (2000), over the life of the current contract. The Company shall be required to train or hire, at least two hundred (200) drivers by De- cember 31, 2019 and twenty-five percent (25%) of the remaining needed drivers each calendar year thereafter. As long as the Com- pany satisfies these hiring/training obligations, it shall have the right to cover these runs with substitute means of transportation. The Employer shall provide the Union a report identifying the loads covered by this Section. The Company shall meet with the Union to resolve any issues which may arise if circumstances be- yond the Company’s control preclude the Company from training or hiring needed drivers in any area. The Company shall train or hire a sufficient number of drivers to cover these runs by the end of the current labor agreement.

Sounds great but in reality it's a free pass for year round subcontracting.

Maybe switch to feeders when shipping out of LA? At some point it will become more cost effective.

I don't see that happening there are around 10 ups buildings in the LA area

Bring the loads into Phoenix then truck them from there over to LA metro …

All sorts of junk left on the tracks there. They discard the cheap stuff.

And from an enviromental standpoint this is literally the opposite direction to take. More loads should be sent by train rather than by trucks (and should I say looted lol) We'd have plenty of runs as long as we clamp down on the subcontractors.

Fake news.

We get it. You love your 3rd world hellhole. Just keep your lunatic politics out of the sensible parts of the country.

Fake News, right guys?

Did you see the effort that cop towards the end made in catching those guys? No wonder they’re doing it if that’s the best LAPD can do to apprehend them.

Why make the effort if one knows they’ll be out in hours because the DA won’t prosecute? He’d be better off hanging out in Dunkin.

Oh well we lost him…

Yeah that blows my mind. Trespassing at a rail yard used to get you a bullet.
