When one of our own is hurting, SMART-TD members stand together.
Brother Brian Malleck, a proud 19-year member of Local 626 working out of McCook, Nebraska on the BNSF Railroad, suffered a life-altering injury in an incident that could have happened to any of us.
While putting his train away at his away-from-home terminal in Denver, Colorado, he was making a move we’ve all done countless times when the car he was riding derailed and landed on top of him. Tragically, the accident cost him his leg.
Brian is a respected union brother, a husband, a father, and a grandfather. His family now faces an incredibly difficult road ahead.
Brother Malleck’s Local 626 brothers and sisters have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help support him and his loved ones during this trying time.
We urge all SMART-TD members, railroaders across the nation, and anyone who believes in looking out for one another to please consider donating whatever you can.
This accident is a stark reminder of the risks we all face daily, and it’s a moment for us to show what union solidarity truly means.
