AS THE OLDEST UNION IN NORTH AMERICA, WE PROUDLY MARKED OUR 150TH ANNIVERSARY ON MAY 8, 2013 WITH A DAY-LONG CELEBRATION FEATURING 24 GUEST SPEAKERS AND A COMMEMORATIVE 150TH ANNIVERSARY VIDEO. IT WAS OUR GOAL TO HAVE AN INDUSTRY-WIDE CELEBRATION THAT RECOGNIZED NOT JUST THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE BROTHERHOOD, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PROUD MEMBERS, ACTIVE AND RETIRED, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE UNION. WE SELECTED DETROIT AS THE HOST CITY FOR OUR CELEBRATION BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE WERE FOUNDED IN 1863. ALL ACTIVE AND RETIRED WERE MAILED A BLET HISTORY BOOK AND A SPECIALLY DESIGNED KEY CHAIN TO COMMEMORATE THE BROTHERHOOD'S HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | THE ELECTED BLET LEADERSHIP SPENT MUCH OF THE YEAR FIGHTING FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, AND THE TWO MAIN THEMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WERE POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL AND TWO PERSON CREWS. A MAJOR TRAGEDY ON JULY 6, 2013 WHEN A TRAIN CARRYING CRUDE OIL DERAILED IN THE TOWN OF LAC-MEGANTIC, QUEBEC. THE RESULTING FIREBALL COMPLETELY ENGULFED THE TOWN'S CORE AND CAUSED 47 FATALITIES. THE TRAIN WAS OPERATED BY A LONE EMPLOYEE. IN RESPONSE, THE BLET STRONGLY AND PUBLICLY DENOUNCED THE OPERATION OF TRAINS BY A SINGLE- PERSON CREW. WORKING JOINTLY WITH SMART TRANSPORTATION DIVISION (FORMER UTU), WE SUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED CONGRESS TO INTRODUCE SWEEPING LEGISLATION THAT WOULD MANDATE BY FEDERAL LAW THAT TWO QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS ARE IN THE CAB OF EACH FREIGHT TRAIN OPERATING IN THE UNITED STATES. |
