CLEVELAND, December 5 — Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) National President Dennis R. Pierce has formally notified General Chairmen representing employees impacted by national health and welfare bargaining of the Tentative Agreement reached between the BLET and the National Carriers’ Conference Committee (NCCC) late last week.
The notice also advised that BLET and NCCC also have entered into an agreement voluntarily extending the status quo cooling-off period to accommodate the membership ratification process for the Tentative Agreement. For this reason, no order to strike at the expiration of the statutory cooling-off period will be issued.
