Money from the BLET-PAC is used to help in the fight on Capitol Hill for issues that impact your job, your family and your future!
Railroad Retirement
Amtrak Funding
Federal Employers' Liability Act
Railroad Security
Railroad Safety Big Railroads spend big money in Washington to influence members of Congress and push their anti-worker plans. They outspend working families by more than 15-1. Through grassroots political action and aggressive lobbying on Capitol Hill and in State Houses and City Halls across America, labor has stopped some of the worst attacks on working people.
Why should you join?
Big Railroads are pushing their agenda harder than ever. That means we have to fight back stronger than ever. Unions cannot just react when important issues arise. We must get in the game early and help set the agenda. BLET-PAC helps elect and retain elected officials who share our concerns.
I Already Pay Union Dues?
Laws prohibit the use of union dues for political purposes. Your voluntary BLET-PAC contribution fills this gap and enables us to help those who share our interests on the state and national level.
I'm Almost Ready to Retire?
BLET-PAC also works for our retired members and their spouses. We're working to protect your interests on matters related to Railroad Retirement, survivor's benefits and other timely issues.
Please join and support BLET-PAC. If we all contribute just a little, it CAN make a difference. You can obtain a BLET-PAC Authorization Card by contacting Mark Anderson. bletmmslb@comcast.net
If you already contribute, consider contacting our Secretary/Treasurer to increase your BLET- PAC contribution. Let's make an effort to be proactive in the effort to support issues that are important to us and our families!
