Open Time Frequently Asked Questions
With the Company’s changes to how they built pairings beginning in April 2025, our Education Committee wanted to provide you with a refresher on Article 12: Exchange of Trips. With the reduction of trips in Open Time impacting our ability to trade and adjust our work days, it’s even more important we know the Contract language associated specifically with Article 12.5: Trades with Open Time. This week’s Fast Fact Friday focuses on answering frequently asked questions about trading using Open Time, including restrictions and timelines. Let’s break down Open Time Trading and briefly review the changes to Article 12 in Contract 2024.
Fast Fact Friday #27 (Open Time Trading)
One of the greatest parts of our Contract is the flexibility it allows us with our schedules. Using Open Time to trade assignments or move the days we work is just one way we can “work” our schedules to best match our individual work-life balance. However, trading with Open Time has some restrictions we must be aware of. Let’s break down trading with Open Time in this week’s Fast Fact Friday!
Catching Up With 556, March 2025
Spring has officially arrived—and with it, a sense of renewal and momentum for TWU Local 556.
In nature, Spring is a season of growth and energy returning after a long winter. For our Union, this season mirrors the moment. We’ve welcomed a new President, a new 1st Vice President, and a new Treasurer. They each bring a blend of fresh perspectives, experience from seasons past, and a commitment to serving our Members. Change like this allows us to refocus and move forward with a renewed sense of optimism and purpose.
