As a UTU member I cannot understand the thinking of why rail unions wi***o join the union which has taken away railraod jobs. Last yr it was the BLE. This union has had a history of problems for several yrs. Twice, the BLE endorsed Regan for Pres. In 1982 BLE staged a nationwide strike because they thought the engr should be the highest paid member of a train crew. The union did not get thgeir demand and instead other work conditions were stuffed down the throat of rail labor which screwed new hires. Six Presidents have served the BLE withing the last 14 yrs. The reason many think that why the Teamsters merged the BLE into their group is that thr truckers may make a run to get their hand in rr retirement. It would take an act of Congress to arprove thisbut with powerful people in Washington, like *** Gephart, who is a Teamsters boy, anything is possible. Have to say the outlook for rail labor and the future as for the industry as a whole looks bleak
