CLEVELAND, February 22 — The BLET’s National Legislative Office in Washington, D.C., launched its new website today.
The website, which can be accessed at www.bletdc.org, contains a plethora of information to keep members informed about what’s happening in the legislative arena.
“With the recent changes in Washington and in state Capitols around the country, and with the upcoming elections, it is very important that BLET members and other interested parties have a resource for information about legislative and political issues,” said John Tolman, BLET Vice President and National Legislative Representative said. “I hope that this site will provide that resource.”
The site is intended to be a resource for BLET members, as well as anyone who is interested in the union’s legislative and regulatory activities.
“This site will be a valuable resource for BLET members,” BLET National President Don M. Hahs said. “I hope that it will continue to evolve as an extension of the many outreach efforts that we undertake at the BLET.”
The website includes a section for “Action Alerts,” which will allow the BLET to mobilize its members whenever they are called upon to call their members of Congress to support or oppose key pieces of legislation.
The “Testimony and Correspondence” area is an archive of testimony delivered by BLET and Teamster officials before Congress regarding key regulatory and legislative issues.
The website also contains contact information for the National Legislative Office as well as all State Legislative Board Chairmen.
Members can register to vote through the new website, and can request information about joining the BLET-PAC.
