I am a BMWE member and would like to express my disappointment in the International Association and Grand Lodge’s decision not to consider affiliating with the Service Employees International Union.

Our children work mostly in the service sector along with other relatives and friends. The way things are going, today’s railroaders might some day be working there too!

The opportunity to become more influential politically along with the SEIU obviously would be beneficial for us, the other rail unions, as well as all of labor’s workers.
