Re: Risky Freight Trains

["Dino64" <dino64@iprimus.com.au>]

The more I read form you Tezza, the more I sounds like you miss out on a job
with NRC and your still pissed of about it. I think your attack on 3 dead
men who are not hear today to defend themselves was a foolish move and well
below the belt. The fact that 2 died because of RAC's negligence makes what
you're statement implied even worse.

As for the numerous safeworking breaches and pressuring of employee's you
have alleged against NRC and FC. I would suggest you call the RBTU Loco
Division tomorrow, organise a meeting with Bob Hayden or one of the other
Bob's and present them with all the information you can provide them. There
phone number is 9264 3400.

If you've got some hard facts. Don't just bitch about to the newsgroup. Give
it to somebody who can use it for everyone's benefit.
Regards......Dino
