The Teamsters' biggest concern has always been fatigue. As I mentioned earlier, the inaccuracies of train lineups are one of the greatest causes of rail fatigue. As I alluded to earlier, many are faced with a decision to go to work tired, which is heavily influenced by fear of reprisal from the employer. Mandatory eight-hour broadcast of crew starts is going to help. We need more information so that we can be better prepared to go to work. The employer needs to cease disciplinary action. We are governed by.... We have to be fit and rested prior to.... We work in a safety critical position. When we make mistakes, they're not paper cuts. We don't hit the backspace. We see major tragedies and major incidents happen. These often result in fatalities, and fatigue is a major component in that.
Going back to Lac-Mégantic, that happened at approximately two in the morning. If you ask me, I would question fatigue.
