My arguments in this post were not against Enginemen as such.
The first post that began this thread was about Federal Government insisting
NR dispose of all assetts no longer being used to other Railroads that may
want to purchase them...etc etc
A NR driver replied that LVR and other Companies employed scabs that were
destroying our conditions.etc and NO WAY would these assetts be disposed of
to the likes of them!!
My reply was that maybe they  [LvR enginemen] have few choices and that
people sometimes make mistakes.
I also added that I have lived most of my Railway career suffering shit from
NSW crews, and that I DID not think that was the way it should be.
My statement mirrored yours that we all belong to the same Union and are
fighting the one battle, so why should we be  at each others throats.
And I have been defending myself ever since ;o(
Knocking the trucks off is everybodies final win win situation, guaranteeing
those of us who rely on the income the security and sustained employment we
all crave for.Cheers
