The 2018 NALC Guide to Route Inspections(Abridged)
It is a complete explanation of the route inspection process and was created to assist shop stewards and branch officers in identifying contractual violations that take place during management’s unilateral six-day route counts and inspections/adjustments, and with filing successful grievances on those violations.
The guide will take you through the inspection process in chronological order and provide an easy reference to various provisions and related national settlements that govern route inspections.
