Uke wrote:

Uke's own obvious lack of knowledge when it comes to maintaining a complicated machine, which Uke has no business operating WITHOUT a full course of instructions as to maintenace, AND operating BEST practices.

 Ranger Uke has said many times that he has operated this machine and gone into lengthy details aobut said operation of said machine.

To find out at this late juncture that Ranger Uke now claims to 'have no business' running said machine, show a callous and wanton disregard for his personal safety and the interests of the Carrier.

We will add this charge to the hearing notice.

Looks like Ranger Uke may be retiring a little earlier than planned.

Uke needs to check the retiree's corner, I think he left some spare parts in there from his last fiasco with the machine.

I've been able ta RUN the machine, and clean up mant types of wheel defects, from size-mismatch (On six-axle units), ta slid-flats, ta shelling, WILD wheels, high/thin flanges...and other wheels needing reprofiles.

On the maintenace side, it's all been very rudimentary. Greasing all the bearings (Weekly), ta indexing the cutters (After 60 cuts), and daily-look-sees...

Beyond that... Thirty-plus years from Hillyard Diesel apprenticeship on an antique machine, ta Interbay, where I half-assed picked it up because nobody else wanted it... Enjoyed the challenge tu! But this machine was installed in 1978, after BN bought it used.

Since then, there've been probably 30-35 guys who ran it. Some more carefully than others. And some who cared for the machine, and others who just did it because they were told ta cut wheels. And only a few were really versed in all aspects of the wheel machine.

I learned it from the best. Gordy McCoy was the de facto wheelman for twelve years at Interbay. I spent six weeks learning from him. The finer points of truing... When he went off on disability, I spent a few shifts alone back there, testing myself. I did okay...

But the current day shift wheelman Jim V., taught me the most. Gordy taught me basics. When I asked about maintenance, he said "Just grease it once a week, or more if ya cut a lot...and check the oil!" Nothing about how ta refill the gearboxes, or where anything was! I guess he figured he'd do everything else himself.

When he went off... Jim V. bid the job. He'd worked it a lot on weekends when Gordy was off.

Graveyard shift...a serious stoner Danny ran the machine while smoking weed... So it's been operated differently by a series of guys. Some respectful, some not...

Now, Ranger Uke alerts us to a drug problem at the Interbay Diesel Shop. He is trying to deflect us away from his previous testimony. It won't work. We'll initiate a Rule G fact-finding on Ranger Uke. Please remove him from service.

That's Rump Ranger Uke, he has admitted that he hates Troll's ass, so he must be an ass expert.

Typical union scum, after having diarrhea of the mouth about the charges he clams up and tries to ignore everything.

We'll add an evasiveness charge for good measure.

And, disrespect and a careless and indifferent attitude.

I think someone needs to represent Uke at the upcoming trial. Our newest friend from Utah comes to mind.
