Employees have the right to challenge in Good Faith any directive that would violate the operating rules or instructions in respect to the operation of hand operated switches/crossovers and fixed derails, shoving movements, leaving equipment in the clear. This challenge must be made in which manner?

• A. Good Faith.
• B. Official channels.
• C. In writing.
• D. Immediately to a higher authority.

Answer: (A)

When a directive could violate operating rules, you raise the concern in good faith. That means you bring up the issue honestly and with the genuine aim of ensuring safe, rule-compliant operation—not to undermine someone or for personal gain. The protection and the process rely on your intent being safety-driven and truthful, so the concern is taken seriously and addressed through the proper safety review. The important part is the honest, safety-first motivation behind the challenge; the form or channel for raising it (writing it down, who you tell, etc.) can vary, but the emphasis in this rule is on acting in good faith.
