I got a letter saying that as well. However keeping seniority while on protected leave is actually legislated by provincial law, and there is nothing about being required to pay dues in order for that law to apply. Kind of BS, but what can you really do about it? Not much I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you have to ride it during the specified times on the sheet. The rush hour time range is pretty big, so hopefully you can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggum93 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hey everyone, I'm going through the process right now. Looks like most of the people here are going for transit operator. I applied for Overhead Linesperson's Assistant. I wrote the aptitude test, got called in for an interview, and 3 days later at least 2 of my references that I know of were contacted. Is this a good sign that my references were called? Or does everyone's references get called after the interview? Also, lots of people here mentioned a medical test. What does that test consist of? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know another member mentioned wheel trans is out of Lakeshore and is pretty senior and tough to get in but can any operators comment on how the shifts are? I assume no late or graveyard shifts.

Some people travel up to an hour even though their nearest division is beside them. It really depends on availability and need of the division.

MarkyMark Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi I am looking at the crew guides on http://www.arrowroad.ca/ and they don’t show a weekly schedule but only for a single week day. I am wondering when drivers chooses crews for the sign up is each week laid out with times and routes or do they get to pick out work for each individual day of the week?
