[QUOTE="soberups, post: 790261, member: 14668"] +1 One of the nice things about working in a pro-union state with good representation is that it helps to keep the management honest on issues such as EAM's, EC's, air commits etc. When an employee feels secure in his/her job, they are far more likely to confront the occasional "bad apple" management person who tries to intimidate them into cutting corners or fudging numbers. There is a very high level of accountablity among the management in my area over issues such as commit times and Emergency Condition exceptions. We are always given very clear and specific instructions to be honest about these issues. As far as EC's go, in my area they need to be approved on a case-by-case basis unless we are dealing with a major event such as a snowstorm. EC exceptions are not misused here, when in doubt we are told to go ahead and sheet the package as "missed" . It has been many, many years since I have been instructed to do anything dishonest by a management person, and a big part of the reason for that is because the employees are not afraid to confront a sup who tells them to do something wrong.
