Western Railroad Discussion > Are "forced transfers" of new hires still going on?Date: 04/19/24 08:39 Are "forced transfers" of new hires still going on? Author: Lackawanna484 A while back there was a discussion of how railroad trainees hired in Idaho, Montana, etc were being assigned to Los Angeles etc to fill critically low boards.
Is that still going on, or was it a one-off? I could understand a lot of people deciding that was a bad idea, and quitting very quickly.

Author: Milw_E70 Outside of offering temporary transfers the only “forcing” going on now is to the furlough board, at least on Big Orange

That's all subject to change depending on traffic levels. Out Date: 04/19/24 23:01 Re: Are "forced transfers" of new hires still going on? Author: SantaFe goneon66 Wrote:

Author: funnelfan Used to be called "chasing your senority". If you could not hold the terminal you were at in slow times, you might have to go to a less desireable terminal to keep from being furloughed. BNSF in the northwest has a restricted senority district that has long kept people from bumping their was into terminals there from outside the region.
