Twenty newly-elected Local Chairmen from BNSF General Committees of Adjustment participated in training sessions in February designed to help them become familiar with their duties under the BLET Bylaws. Most of the participants in the training session are taking office for the first time after winning election in the recently completed Triennial Election cycle.
Also participating were two members from short line railroads represented by the BNSF-ATSF GCA — Panhandle Northern and Great Western Railroad of Colorado. The training was organized by General Chairmen Kent Psota (BNSF/MRL GCA), Rob Cunningham (BNSF-ATSF GCA), and Troy Martin (BNSF-former C&S, CRIP/JTD, FWD).
