"We have seen a GG company initiate a search on two separate occasions, so it is done. We are also aware of and know people that were searched or told they were going to be searched with 4 different companies. The 3 worst for conducting searches are Chesapeake, Pioneer & Talisman." it would have been nice if you would have stated this earlier. that is an answer to my originaL question. i did not say it does not happen i said "i know of NO searches done by a GATE GUARD CO" had you stated this sooner i would not have been ignorant of it taking place! AND after all i was only following in your footsteps. how many times have YOU sharply told posters to read the 115 pages of gate guard info. so you do not have to answer their question. why if you do not want to answer their question then why do you just NOT!. not every one has the time to read thru 115 pages of dribble to hopefully find out what they want to know.Re: Information Discussion for Gate Guardsit's funny that you would imply WE were searched for a reason, we are on the companies good side the chesapeake people love us, our last 2 co men asked us to move with them and were very disapointed when we would not go. on jan15 we told our gate guard co we were taking time off and want to be replaced on the 1st of feb. (we have been on a gate 8 months with no relief) they said they would and asked if we would be coming back to work for them. the chesapeake exect's told us that they have only done random searches. i know of NO searches done by a GATE GUARD CO.Re: Information Discussion for Gate Guardsthe meaning of right and legal has changed in my lifetime, it no longer takes into account, personal privacy or do unto others as you would have them do unto you or the fact that there is no known issue to be delt with. you no longer have to be creating a problem to be suspect. and it aint going to get better. i know of three seaches ALL had a rig on the pad.Re: Information Discussion for Gate Guardsif you are at a gate you have agreed to such a search (at least in their opinion) they WILL FIRE YOU if you refuse. some use dogs some do not they went thru every drawer cabinet you name it. looking for drugs-firearms-alcohol i know it is happening i want to find out how common it is.Re: Information Discussion for Gate Guardshave any of you gate guards had your rv searched by an energy company or your gate guard co. we were searched on aug 21-2012 the searchers were chesapeak exect's. they also pee tested us and checked our breath for alcohal. they searched every trailer and every pickup and car of the rig workers too. even the co mans office. they tested the rig workers too.Re: Information Discussion for Gate Guardsthe new contract is our reason too. the pay cut is bad but the contract is way out of line. i wish i could say that the number of gate gaurds leaving loma would help them see the wrong they are doing. but i know that it will not. loma is a hopeless case. our 20k cat gen has had one oil change in 4 months, and is typical of loma's over all business practicesRe: Information Discussion for Gate Guardsi have read all 112 pages !!!!!!! rhianna i tried to pm but thats a no go why are you leaving loma. we are too.
