That is funny but I don’t think that’s why, they do have some places it’s negotiated differently in different areas.

It is a joke, but, seriously, central has the worst union officials. I wouldn't doubt if someone traded sick time for something useless.

I just dislike the way the whole thing happened, but it’s important to understand the railroad agreement is a different animal than ours. Unfortunately, the government has a lot more control of the outcome even from the very beginning of negotiations, changes the whole dynamic of an agreement.

I don't know of any part time feeder positions. I don't know all the JC language in the western though.
