Our Burlington System Division has worked with National Division and our BMWED Organizing team to support our newest members as they organized themselves on the Illinois Railway!
Illinois Railway (IR) is a Class III railroad operated by OmniTRAX, Inc. IR has four track segments, totaling 113 miles of track and connecting with several other railroads in northern Illinois.
Now that our newest members have done the work of organizing themselves, Burlington System Division and BMWED will do ours—negotiating a collective bargaining agreement that protects our members' quality of life and dignity at work, and providing the administrative tools and support for these new Brothers to govern themselves.
Welcome, new Brothers, and congratulations on your hard work!
