Safe Rails Secure America campaign begins
CLEVELAND, September 3 -- The Teamsters Rail Conference has launched the Safe Rails Secure America campaign designed to obtain firsthand information about the true condition of safety and security along our nation’s railroads.
The data collected will provide important information to arm the Teamsters Rail Conference and Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen in addressing dangerous practices by the carriers and in communicating our concerns to the general public and federal authorities.
Since September 11, 2001, billions of dollars have been devoted to the security of the airline industry. Unfortunately, the Bush administration has ignored FBI warnings about likely future attacks on commuter and freight rail lines and has left railroad security up to their friends in private industry.
Railroad employees now have an opportunity to share what they see and know about lapses in rail security by filling out the Safe Rails survey form below.
If you are a BLET member, feel free to download this form and fill it out. After you fill it out, please return the form to your local chairman.
