CLEVELAND, August 23 — With the upcoming Second National Convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen scheduled for October 4-7, all BLET Divisions are reminded that their Secretary-Treasurers must file their monthly dues reports in a timely fashion in order to seat their delegates at the convention.
National Division Rules — Section 23 — of the BLET Bylaws states: “Any delegate whose division is not square on the books and any division that has not paid its pro rata assessments, as provided in these Bylaws, also its indebtedness to other divisions, shall not be allowed a seat in the ND.”
The convention begins October 4.
It is essential that each Division ensure that the August 2010 Dues Remittance report is filed prior to the opening of the convention.
BLET National Secretary-Treasurer Bill Walpert sent all Division Secretary-Treasurers a formal reminder of this constitutional requirement in a letter dated August 2, 2010. All BLET Division Presidents were reminded of the requirement as well.
The Second National Convention, held once every four years, will take place at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada, from October 4-7, 2010.
