(NEW
YORK) – Teamsters with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) at the Long
Island Rail Road (LIRR) have launched a strike alongside their bargaining
coalition of 3,500 workers from five unions.
“The
LIRR owns this strike. Union workers have sacrificed so much for the railroad
for years while consistently bargaining in good faith for a fair contract,”
said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Hundreds of thousands of
commuters rely on our members’ labor every day. The LIRR is stranding
passengers while denying wages, benefits, and respect to BLET Teamsters and
other hardworking union members. All 1.3 million members of the Teamsters Union
are standing with every worker on strike. We will win this fight and the LIRR
will give these essential workers the contract they’ve earned.”
The
LIRR is the busiest commuter railroad in America, with 300,000 daily
passengers. It is owned and operated by the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA). This is the first strike at the carrier in 32 years.
“This
strike would not have happened if the MTA and LIRR offered our members the
reasonable terms the government recommended multiple times. But management
refused,” said Mark Wallace, President of the BLET and the Teamsters Rail
Conference. “We hope LIRR gets serious soon to avoid further unnecessary
disruptions for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. They know where to find
us when they’re ready: on the streets.”
The
Teamsters represent over 500 locomotive engineers at the railroad. They have
gone three years without raises throughout the process of bargaining a new
contract.
“To
every LIRR passenger whose trip is disrupted, know that the MTA left us no
choice but to strike,” said Gil Lang, General Chairman of the BLET’s LIRR
General Committee. “We don’t want to be on the picket line. But after three
years without raises, we cannot make any more compromises to cover for the
MTA’s mismanagement.”
Founded
in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.3 million
hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Visit Teamster.org for

International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Brotherhood_of_Electrical_Workers#Leadership
History
The
organization now known as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
was founded in 1891, two years before George Westinghouse won the electric
current wars by lighting the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition with
alternating current, and before homes and businesses in the United States had
begun receiving electricity. It is an international organization, based on the
principle of collective bargaining. Its international president is Kenneth W.
Cooper and is affiliated with the AFL–CIO.
The
IBEW began with the Electrical Wiremen and Linemen's Union No. 5221, founded in
St. Louis, Missouri, in 1890.[8][9] By 1891, after sufficient interest was
shown in a national union, a convention was held on November 21, 1891, in St.
Louis. At the convention, the IBEW, then known as the National Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers (NBEW), was officially formed. The American Federation of
Labor gave the NBEW a charter as an AFL affiliate on December 7, 1891. The
union's official journal, The Electrical Worker, was first published on January
15, 1893, and has been published ever since. At the 1899 convention in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the union's name was officially changed to the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhood_of_Locomotive_Engineers_and_Trainmen
The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) is a labor union
founded in Marshall, Michigan, on 8 May 1863 as the Brotherhood of the
Footboard. It was the first permanent trade organization for railroad workers
in the US. A year later it was renamed the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
(B of LE). The B of LE took its present name in 2004 when it became a division
of the Rail Conference of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters (IBT).
