An interesting twist. Take some canvas, some brushes and express yourself. Just don’t include BNSF in the picture. Imagine it. A legal firm representing railroad workers, commissions a painting representing an epic struggle of workers against a corporate foe. The road’s attorneys sue the attorneys of the workers alleging dilution of image. Freedom of expression? Not. http://www.schwimmerlegal.com/2006/10/railroad_allege.html
That’s an interesting picture. It tells an interesting story - one that I am not familiar with. To me, the story it tells is that BNSF is responsible for the subjugation of mine workers. Can someone fill me in?
File under “OOPS”. Dispute between mine owners and workers over scheduling work hours, which involved BNSF and the loading of unit trains. Uncertainty over the actual appearance of scheduled trains caused a tiff between the two which went to arbitration. From the testimony of the mining management official: “Big Sky can never be sure if BNSF scheduled trains will actually appear at Big Sky. The BNSF dispatchers work from computers in Houston, Texas. Sometimes the railroad dispatchers bunch trains, causing unexpected scheduling problems at Big Sky. Scheduling loading at Big Sky is a significant problem because Big Sky has no input into when trains arrive.” The allusion to being painted into a corner was figurative and literal.
