Have a Tip? Share Your News with SMART-TD!

October 7, 2025

From a landmark agreement reached with Union Pacific that secures SMART-TD members’ jobs, to a string of contract ratifications in our Bus Department, there’s been no shortage of news recently in our universe.  
 
But just because we’re sharing these stories and others like them every day, that doesn’t mean that we’re capturing everything that’s happening throughout our union, including the good, the bad, and the ugly.  
 
SMART News can’t be at every local meeting or in the halls of every State Capitol.  

That’s where you, our members, come into play.  
 
Are the carriers trying to cut corners or skirt safety regulations at the expense of rail workers? Share that tip! 
 
Do you know of a fellow union brother or sister who’s got a powerful story who has earned some time in the spotlight? Tell us! 
 
Is there an important piece of legislation that has the potential to affect our union? Let us know! 
 
The bottom line: YOU are our best source of information! 

Send us your stories and keep up with what’s happening throughout our union by using the daily Newswire e-mail, Facebook, LinkedIn, smart-union.org or sign up for the quarterly TD Newspaper.
 
Ending each daily Newswire e-mail with “Have a Story? Tell the News Team” isn’t just lip service or a placeholder: it’s a genuine request to let us know what’s going on in your state, the conversations happening in the crew room, and the issues that are top of mind for our brothers and sisters across our union.  
 
Get involved and let us know what stories SMART News should tell!
