Make Plans to Help IAM Rail Workers2/11/2004 Make Plans to Help IAM Rail Workers
IAM members are reminded to take advantage of the upcoming congressional recess, February 13-20, to meet with elected representatives in their home offices about rail management's campaign to delay a new contract for IAM Class 1 rail members.
A 5-10 minute visit with lawmakers can make a big difference for 7,500 IAM members, who have waited more than 4 years for a new agreement.
The campaign to protect rail workers’ collective bargaining rights is focused on forcing the National Mediation Board (NMB) to declare an impasse and make a proffer of arbitration on all outstanding issues.
Talking points(see link in links page) about the issue are available along with sample letters that can be mailed to Senators and Representatives.
