LOL at anyone that believes what walmart offers is actually considered benefits. That's whats wrong with the american public. They think they have health insurance and it's a joke. Any time I hear someone claim they have health insurance only to tell me that they pay $1,200 a month for a family of four and have 5k deductibles it's pathetic.

They are fed shit and made to believe it's Filet Mignon.

I pay 40 bucks a quarter for my entire family, 3 bucks for prescriptions and ....No Union. You want to talk about a job that is hazardous? EOD and Infantry. Why aren't we paid more than you union train boys? OUr jobs is exponentially harder and if we screw up, there isn't a civil suit, it's a war crimes tribunal.

LOL the all knowing Denny knows it all. Your right it doesn't happend everyday it happends every 2 hours. Statistics show a train will hit a car, truck, 18wheeler, person, or what ever you want to call it somewhere in the United States every 2hours.

Next time you are hauling a box car full of Speak N Spells please break in and steal one for the sake of us all. This thread can be printed out and will be admissable to any court in the land as a defense to prosecution.

You implied something else, making it sound like a train kills someone every day. Don't try to bullshit us, then insult our intelligence with your backtracking.

BTW, I love those statistics. You guys sound like some "highly trained" fuyckers. LOL @ every two hours!

There is a lot more truth to FreightTrains' statement than you think, seems like every day we are downloading an event recorder because some dumbass thought they could out run a train, and while they are all not fatality accidents there is almost certainly litigation involved. The engineer and conductor both share a certain amount of liability in any of these accidents, was the horn blown at the proper time before a crossing, speed , emergency braking response time etc. and if you don't believe the bit about fines, well the FRA has and will access PERSONAL fines up to $25K. This conversation was about unions, now it seems to have taken a turn about the merits of hard working rail roaders who believe it or not keep the economy rolling, with out us and our hard work the American economy would collapse!

I think i pay 56/mo with a cheap deductible through my company.

[turboskull1]

I pay 180 a month for my wife and I, and have $0 deductible, 10 dollar presicriptions and 15 dollar office visits. No union here.

That's pretty close to our health benefits, just count yourself as one of the fortunate few with a good health plan at reasonable personal cost without union backing. My guess would be less than 10% of employers offer a benefit package like we enjoy, and everyday the numbers become less as corporations look for ways to cut cost to increase already bloated profits, enjoy it while it lasts.

Damn, 12 hours later and it's gone from how terrible unions are to how stupid rail roaders are.

I happends to find that ironic.
