  • First, we will try to organize the Q and A sections by using categories to highlight the most sought after answers.
  • Second, we will try to stick to the use a question and answer format on the Q and A pages as opposed to the “notice” style.
  • Finally, we will use questions from the membership as the catalyst for the information provided on the Q and A pages.
  • Information requiring a “Notice” style of delivery can be found, depending on the content, on the “LCA”,” LR”, “Safety”, “Rules", "FRA”  or “S/T” pages.     

With that being said; to submit a question to the local division leadership you can:

  • Use any of the email addresses found on the “Contact Us” page.
  • You can leave a message on the phone at the office (option 4).
  • You can fill out the dreaded “Grievance” form and place it in the BLE-T box at the depot.
  • Due to the time it may take to find the correct answer to your question, be aware that the response time to your question may not be immediates...
