CLEVELAND, May 18 — More than 500 delegates will convene in Reno, Nevada, for the BLET’s Second Quadrennial National Convention from October 4-7, 2010.
The delegates will represent nearly 38,000 active locomotive engineers and trainmen throughout the United States. They will be charged with nominating candidates for National Division office, analyzing and voting on changes to the Brotherhood’s bylaws, and various other important duties. The National Convention is held every four years, and this will be the second such convention since the Organization’s merger with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters effective January 1, 2004.
The BLET National Division is launching a new page on its website to provide the membership — specifically delegates — with information regarding the upcoming convention. The page will contain official correspondence from the National Division about the convention, a hotel registration link, and other pertinent information.
The new page, which will be updated as new information becomes available, is here:
