The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) has announced a schedule of dates for the agency’s spring 2016 informational conferences.
Informational conferences will be held in 21 locations across the country, beginning on March 11 in Baldwin Park, California, and concluding on June 24 in Barboursville, West Virginia.
Started approximately 60 years ago by the RRB’s Office of the Labor Member, the conferences provide rail union officers with a comprehensive overview of the provisions and financing of the railroad retirement and unemployment insurance systems. These officials, in turn, pass on to their fellow rail labor membership the information acquired at the conferences.
Informational Conferences are open to union officials and their spouses by invitation only. Labor representatives who do not receive an invitation to a conference in their area should contact the RRB toll-free at (877) 772-5772 and request that they be added to the agency’s invitation database. Registration for each informational conference begins at 8:00 a.m., with the programs beginning promptly at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 12:15 p.m.
