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!
