Work rule changes for train operators
I am locking this thread. If the OP has something other than their own word to back this up they can start another thread. 10/12/2010
So I've heard that new rules are coming down allowing train operators to leave work when they have less than 15 minutes left on the clock and be paid for the full day. Does your job allow you to do this? As it is, train operators usually get back to their home yard with 1.5 hours left on the clock and are able to leave to run errands, get groceries, gas, go to the gym, ect. and then return to punch out at their off time. Does your job let you do this? I find this unbelievable. A train operator makes approx. $30.00/hr. 15 minutes is roughly $7.50. There are approximately 400 train operators, you do the math. In this economy BART is just giving away the money. If you find this outrageous, please contact your BART Board of Director for your area and express your concern. These are the people who scream for more money every 4 years.
Have a source for this
Have a source for this conjecture or did you just make it up?

All I have to say is, "Where do I apply to get that job?"
I have asked the same thing
I have asked the same thing many times.
Apparently they only post the jobs about once every five years, and then you have to wait in line for your application to be reviewed, which can take up to five years.
Since they cannot fire any employees thanks to the Unions, and since very few people want to leave jobs like these, it is almost impossible to get a job there.
BART is a slow-moving beast.
I highly doubt this is true.
I highly doubt this is true. All BART employees, except managers, have to punch time clocks and are docked if they leave even 1 second early. In the past, there was an "overlap" period where the employees from one shift would stay a few minutes late to brief the next shift on any problems, issues, etc. From my understanding, this was unpaid time but I'm not 100% sure.
It's totally true.
It's totally true. Hopefully, an employee will get on and verify this. Yes, Boaster that is true that they have to punch in/out but the new rule is they can leave with 14 minutes or less and still be paid for the entire shift. There is no reason for me to make this up.
As I asked before, do you
As I asked before, do you have a source for this conjecture? If not than there is no other logical conclusion than that you made it up.
You are a BART employee. How

What the fuck does that have to do with this conversation?

Insane!
Is this for people who run night shifts?
I can't believe they could not find a better way to schedule things so that this did not happen.
Link or it didn't happen.

This is either major news
This is either major news worthy of being a kron4 special, or complete bullshit. I'm locking this thread because it is, pretty clearly, baseless bullshit and troll bait. Come back when you have something other than bad logic to prove your point.
