Rail Engineers' Union Approves Merger with Teamsters Source: International Brotherhood of Teamsters
BLE members approved the merger by an 81% to 19% margin in the United States and 63% to 37% in Canada, making the BLE members part of the largest private-sector trade union in North America.
'Today two great unions begin a partnership to strengthen our ability to represent workers across the transportation spectrum,' Hoffa said. 'The Teamsters have always had a vision for a seamless transportation union giving workers real power on the job and in the political arena. This historic merger brings us closer to our union's vision.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:18 AM :: reference link ::
