Hotline #1,370
October 4, 2024
Mr. Mathews goes to Philly, Mr. Girsch goes to Mexico, feds announce more funds, Houston announces more roads, and we say “see ya later” to a beloved staff member as they head off for new opportunity. It’s a bittersweet #HotlineFriday.
"The COVID Pandemic has been and continues to be the biggest challenge faced by Americans as it has taken a deadly toll on the world and on the world’s economies. During COVID Locomotive Engineers at Amtrak and other Passenger and Freight Railroads have embodied the definition of essential workers. This dedication by our members is not new. We applaud the Rail Passenger’s Association for recognizing the vital contributions of our members and their hard work moving Americans and freight during the COVID pandemic."
Dennis Pierce, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) National President
