Message from the General Committee

Posted Dec. 2002

On behalf of the BLE Western Region General Committee of Adjustment, welcome to our website.  This site would not be possible had it not been for the dedicated work of Brother Paul Short, member and President of Division 676 in Nampa, Idaho.  Brother Short volunteered an extraordinary amount of his personal time toward this project and his efforts are sincerely appreciated.  Paul has created an excellent and informative site which will benefit our WRGCA members and other interested visitors.

Although our website contains quite a bit of information relating to agreements and work environment issues, the material available to our members will grow and evolve as time passes.  As with any meaningful project, additions and modifications will be made from time to time, but the commitment to keep our members informed and updated on current events, disputes, contract and other issues, etc., will not change.  We will endeavor our best to maintain an informed and educated membership.  

Collectively, we face many challenges that could ultimately decide the future of locomotive engineers.  I believe that an informed, educated and mobilized membership is not only a reasonable goal easily within our grasp, but a key mechanism to achieving success in protecting our interests.

It is imperative that we recognize the efforts of General Chairman Gil Gore and his Southern Region General Committee of Adjustment.  Their group long ago  created a truly excellent website that WRGCA is proud to be part of in solidarity with the other Union Pacific BLE General Committees.  Out of the goodness of their hearts and in the spirit of unity, these fine brothers have graciously allowed us to be a part of their project.  From the bottom of my heart, Paul and Gil, thank you.

Tim Donnigan - General Chairman, WRGCA
