Brothers ,

Please remember to fill out your HOS violations and get them to Brother Fancett. he has been instrumental in submitting the violations and having thousands of dollars in fines assessed on behalf of you towards Union Pacific.

examples of Violations

1. no crew or van called specifically for you or your train before you expire. grabbing a crew called for something else doesnt cut it still a violation
2. circuitous route- any route that isnt directly from your train to your home terminal.
3. yard van takes you to colton/la/industry to wait for a road van – violation
4. picking up a second crew-violation
5. holding the air-violation

This also bring us to the next issue -Limbo time

Under the RSIA you are only allowed 276 hours worked and 30 hours of limbo time in a calendar month. many re31 engineers are over the 30 and close to the 276(limbo time = time your dead until you tie up at your home terminal) the UP has stated they would rather pay the fine than follow the law- anytime you exceed the 276/30 please notify this office so we can submit it to Ryan Snow and the FRA. this is mostly for RE31 engineers . if you click on your name it will show month to date limbo time in red

Fraternally
