BLET PROTESTS DOUBLE DIP OF HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION MEMBERS BY UNION PACIFIC

A formal protest has been filed regarding Union Pacific’s double dip of all hospital association members of the BLET UP Southern Region GCA. Those members were not allowed an offset of their hospital association dues against the retroactive health and welfare payments required in the BLET 2003 National Agreement. Vice President Lee Pruitt, with the authority of all 6 UP BLET GCAs, filed the protest on behalf of all Union Pacific Engineers across the entire system. Click HERE to view a copy of the letter.
