BT704 Posted September 1, 2010 Share #26 Posted September 1, 2010 I heard the transit is closing down and every nyc resident will be given a jet pack. Meet george jetson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted September 1, 2010 Share #27 Posted September 1, 2010 The way how things are going it is going to be a very long time before they start calling from the list from the exam that we took. In my opinion I'm not depending on transit at this time the way how things are going with them. I'm just looking else where.... I will most likely pass it up the 1st time I get the call, unless I am unemployed at the time. I can't rule out the MTA just yet, I need and want to start the pension clock so I can transfer my time over to DSNY if and when the time comes. It would be something else if they both called me around the same time after waiting for years,:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xentor Posted September 1, 2010 Share #29 Posted September 1, 2010 Well none of this will affect me one bit yet. At the very least I'm very happy that SOME people will get the opportunity they were patiently waiting for. I can only imagine how excited they must feel hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatherskite Posted September 2, 2010 Share #31 Posted September 2, 2010 I just made a phone call and they are planning to hire September and October, but the class dates have not been set up yet, just that it will be September and October. The numbers I got were 20 T/O and 20 C/R. The T/O will be called from the new promotional list and the C/R will be called from the current C/R promotional list. The last place hired on the current promotional C/R list is 112, so 113 and later should be contacted soon, assuming they don't cancel this class as well like the last few. The people who are still waiting on the old O/C T/O list are out of luck. You will definitely not be getting called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin08 Posted September 6, 2010 Share #32 Posted September 6, 2010 just commented in the MTA Subway Section of this forum saw a post that SUPPOSEDLY they are to conduct a audit of the MTA and the abuse of OT, and I was in NY a few weeks back and a MTA worker on the train said she just worked 16hours . And at the time i was thinking if they wanted to save money HIRE more ppl and have more of a routine sched. Obvisoulsy who knows what will/ could happen but maybe just maybe this helps to hire more ppl in the future and prevent layoffs TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working a double is not an abuse of overtime. If the TA has a job available and they need someone to work OT, then you can do it. It's 100% legal and is a win/win situation for both sides. The TA gets the job done and the worker gets a few extra quid. What the audit is looking for is UNJUSTIFIABLE overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceOfHarlem Posted September 23, 2010 Share #38 Posted September 23, 2010 The new Train Operators will be coming from the latest Promotional list #8562. I myself am in the top 100 of that list. Three of my buds ahead of me on the list have gone to take their medical this week. Common sense tells me that they must have more than one class. Why bother putting together school car for a single class of 20 T/O's? I'm hoping they put in a couple of classes. I've seen many many T/O's retire over the last 4 yrs. I'm certain there is a need to replenish. Would be nice if our wonderful union knew anything about this to keep us informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have also been bigger classes before. How many are in the class doesn't matter, it's how many they need and how many that pass schoolcar that TA cares about.

PrinceOfHarlem Posted September 23, 2010 Share #40 Posted September 23, 2010 A single class of 20 is something you would expect from a TSS class. Past experience has demonstrated that when the TA hires T/O's & C/R's they usually do more than one class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that we were replacing 51 retired or promoted M/M. Even back then they weren't doing a one to one replacement. As a matter of fact we were ALLOWED to work as C/Rs on our RDOs and on specials, even though we had been promoted to M/M. With all of the budget woes the claims to have it wouldn't surprise me if they don't replace everyone who leaves but only a percentage of the retirees, leaving the remaining employees to pick up the slack. BTW Local 100 had/has no input on the hiring practices of NYCT. They have little or no input where the real money is concerned. That's bean counter turf.

Well, the TWU Local 100 will be " counting" a bunch of beans from us over the next 6 months. To the tune of 3.5 Mil. Ahhhh I am truly in the wrong business.

Hopefully, those who start next Tuesday,Sept 28th for NYCT B/O can keep us updated to any future classes in the near future. Is the 8006 list the only B/O list that you are on mass p?

My T/O class 30 to B Div tryed to work as C/R's on our RDO's but the TWU would not allow us to work "Out of Title" since we were Promoted to T/O's.
