In his December 26, 2016 press release, BLET President Dennis Pierce made it clear that right now is the time to fight, and made a call to arms to BLET members to join him in this fight for a fair and reasonable National Agreement. We agree that the time to fight for our livelihood is now. We recognize that the best way to advance the causes of rail labor is through a strong united front. The BMWED stands in solidarity with President Pierce and our BLET union brothers and sisters. We’re prepared to fight alongside you, including, on the picket line, to maintain our work rules and health and welfare benefits, and to get the pay increases that railroaders deserve.
