30 years in the service as a conductor. This job was absolutely awesome when I first started. Great for the employee, but not so good for the company. Enter Tellier, and the share holders. Good for them, and the company, bad for the employees. The only advice I can give anyone that is thinking about a running trades career is this. First and foremost, learn the rules, learn the rules, learn the rules. The only ammunition you have against the meat heads (train masters, assistant sups, sups, and all managers) is knowledge. Study your union agreement, and when you are absolutely sure of yourself and your rights, grow a set of balls, and use them only when needed. Do your job, don't complain, and pick up your paycheck. It's not easy to do at the start, but as the learning process develops, it will happen. CN has afforded me an exceptional life, with only a few more career years to go. Watch your backs, and don't be afraid to stand up for your rights. But first, be sure of your rights.
