BMWED regularly hosts online learning events like Town Halls, webinars, and other virtual meetings where our members and officers can learn from one another while comfortable in their homes or on the road. Our webinars have covered topics ranging from bargaining, FMLA, the Railway Labor Act, "Getting to Know our DLC," the Railroad Retirement Board, and many other topics!

This page will be your "one stop shop" to learn about upcoming webinars, Town Halls, or other virtual events! Check regularly to see if there's an event you'd like to join.

If you've missed a webinar you wanted to join, you can likely still find a recording of it by checking out our Online Educational Videos page. Keep in mind, some Town Halls will not be on that page, but you can find more about a Town Hall you missed by reaching out to your General Chairperson or National Division officers for those events. Of course, if you have questions you can always reach out to your Education Department at [email protected].
