The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) on July 6 reported ratifying a new agreement with the Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks (TRASD).
The BLET represents 14 members of TRASD, the rail carrier operating division of the Alabama State Port Authority, and the vote was 10-2 in favor of the five-year deal, according to the union. The railroad provides access to five Class I railroads (BNSF, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, CN, CSX, and Norfolk Southern) and operates on about 75 miles of track.
The BLET’s CSXT-Western Lines General Committee of Adjustment represents the TRASD membership. The negotiating team comprised General Chairman Keith Kerley, Division 140 Local Chairman Dee Willingham, retired Vice President Alan Holdcraft, and current Vice President Randy Fannon.
