[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 3876339, member: 4864"] Except the publics safety isnt put at risk with 4,000-20,000 tons of speeding steel. You wouldnt let a semi-driver work with the same protocols because it wouldnt be safe for him to be on the road. Not much different for an engineer. They are being offered a considerable raise. They are veto'ing because of the lack of PTO, scheduling etc. They get no paid time off, vacation, bereavement or sick leave. They take off and earn demerits basically. So many demerits is probation or termination. Problem is, they are on call 24/7/365. So taking a day off call is the same as taking off. [/QUOTE]
