  • Karl Borovicka All railroads need to do more thorough track inspections. At NYCTA we always encountered Track Crews inspecting our Subway tracks. I know we run more trains in the Subway, on a daily basis, than the real railroads do. Management is paid to use the tracks, and rail types experimentally, to determine wear and tear on them.

  • Tim Milner Both sides recognized a problem with the pension system, negotiated a fix and now one side wants to not fulfill their side. If the administration didn't like the deal why did they agree to the reforms? Maybe I should tell my employer I don't like the negotiated raises in my contract and tell them I want a bigger raise. Wonder how far that would get.

    No training, drills, night calls?
    Hell, you should have tried for that job.

  • Matthew Conley The biggest problem is the city had touted to firefighters that "we will protect you, we will cover you" then to not follow through. The city can get mad all it wants, but they made the original agreement for it. And if you can't manage how your funds get invested, you shouldn't have that group invest the funds.

  • Jon Talley Everyone always says "you better hope your house doesn't catch fire" when things like this happen. However, we firefighters have more integrity than that and will still extinguish a fire at the home of someone that wronged us. We will take the higher road.
