Welcome Members and Visitors

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen Division 333 is a Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Rail Conference. The BLET Division 333 represents engineers and trainmen of the Union Pacific Railroad - Twin Cities Service Unit, Central 5 Seniority District (former CNW), operating out of South St. Paul, Minnesota.

 Special Message for our members

Total Safety Culture is coming to the Twin Cities, even though four transportation locals/divisions in the Twin Cities Service Unit have voted collectively not to participate. As we have seen in other areas, union members are taking it upon themselves to go against there own locals/divisions wishes that we not participate in TSC. It has been suggested that there are union members already volunteering to be facilitators and observers for TCS, in the Twin Cities. In so many words we were told that TSC is coming whether we want it or not. Unfortunately, we cannot stop this part of the process. For this reason we may not be able to stop TSC from getting off the ground but, we can stop its flight if we stay unified.

Remember, TSC is strictly voluntary. You heard it in class. You cannot be observed unless you want to be observed. This is a very important part of the process. If we stay unified and respectfully deny “observers” the permission to observe the process is over. No observations, no data, no TSC.

Rail Unions Ignore Mountain of Evidence against Behavior Based/Behavior Modification Safety Programs

Why FELA is important ..... Don't buy into the "unsafe worker myth"

SAY "NO" TO OBSERVATIONS  -  SAY NO TO TSC !

Due to the importance, and increasing information about Total Safety Culture, the BLET Division 333 has dedicated an entire webpage to the fight against this behavioral based program. Click here.. Total Safety Culture
