CLEVELAND, January 31 — The BLE’s Advisory Board today passed a motion that will suspend the temporary dues assessment after two months of implementation.
BLE members will be assessed the additional $25 for March and April only.
At its upcoming February meeting, the Board will revisit the issue to determine if further action is necessary.
BLE International President Don M. Hahs said, “The Executive Committee has determined that the March and April assessments, coupled with other funds that are available, should provide adequate financing to defend the BLE on the Kansas City Southern in the event the National Mediation Board issues an adverse ruling.”
