The recent actions by the National Mediation Board regarding SMART-TD’s Crew Consist Agreement with BNSF have created a storm of confusion, frustration, and anger among our brothers and sisters. It’s a complex situation, and we know how deeply it affects each and every one of you.
That’s why SMART-TD’s General Committee 001 created two short, straightforward videos that break down what’s really in the agreement. The videos separate truth from fiction, lay out how we got here, what the agreement means for our members, and most importantly, where we go from here.
We encourage every member to watch these videos, arm yourself with the facts, and share them with your brothers and sisters in your crew rooms:
There has been a flood of misinformation making the rounds, with some of the loudest voices coming from outside our union. Don’t let an outside group’s lies stir division among us.
GC-001 would like to thank Local 1000 Chairperson, Matt Lenz and International Vide President Brent Leonard for their help creating the videos.
This moment demands unity and clarity, not division and doubt. Let’s stick together, get informed, and continue the fight for what’s right.
In solidarity,
SMART-TD
