Message from G. Thomas DuBose
UTU International President
Dear Members: As I prepare to retire from active union service, I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect upon the past and look forward to the future. I would like to extend my personal thanks to our outgoing International officers for a job well done, and extend my best wishes to their families. I also would like to give special recognition to Assistant President L.W. Swert for his service to this administration and his long service to our union. He and Nancy deserve the very best and I wish them a happy retirement and good health. Let me again congratulate our newly elected International officers and wish them much success in leading our union. My thanks also go to the International employees in Cleveland, Ohio, Ottawa, Ontario, and Washington, D.C., who have all done a superb job handling your business and protecting your interests. Without preaching doom and gloom, I can assure each of you there are difficult times ahead. I ask you to lay aside your personal and political differences and support your new president and your union. Remember, if he should stumble, unite and help him up. Only united will you and UTU survive in this anti-union environment. You should always remember your union or your officers are not your enemies. The bus and rail managements are your real enemies. If UTU fails to restructure soon and find a viable merger partner, it may not survive as a strong and effective trade union. If restructuring does not occur, we all may be the victims. We must continue on the path of cost reduction without sacrificing service or representation to the members. During my four years as International president, the restructuring of the UTU began. During that time, we had to make some tough decisions in order for the UTU to survive. For your sake and future, I am glad I did. UTU members and their families will benefit from these decisions and they certainly deserve it. This is your union and I am happy that I was able to play a small role in returning it to you. Did we make some mistakes along the way? You bet we did. But we also know we did the best job we could under the conditions we found our union in when I became International President. Finally, on behalf of my wife Elaine, our family and myself, I extend sincere thanks to all of you for including us in your lives and making our well-being and our livelihood much better than we ever dreamed of over the past 28 years. I can assure each of you that our thoughts will be about UTU and UTUIA and what the two of them have done for us. I feel confident I have left each level of the UTU and UTUIA in a much better condition than I found it. Even though occasionally it was bumpy and rough, I still say thanks for the ride and I bid all of you a fond farewell. Fraternally yours, G. Thomas DuBose
International President
--Freight labor provisions stall Amtrak bill....##B
Attempts by the freight railroads to amend Amtrak legislation pending in the U.S. House of Representatives to weaken labor protections for laid-off employees have sidetracked the important restructuring of the passenger carrier until Congress reconvenes this month. Portions of the bill (H.R. 1788), which resulted from negotiations with the UTU, would require the passenger carrier to begin immediate negotiations on the amount of severance pay for laid-off workers. Existing labor contracts would remain until the accelerated negotiations were completed. UTU representatives were told that the legislation would only apply to Amtrak employees, but just before the measure came up for a vote by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, they discovered freight railroads had managed to include language that would repeal New York Dock provisions and allow the carriers to offer only four years of severance pay to laid-off workers. The UTU and others in labor, who had worked for almost a year to guarantee Amtrak's viability, were appalled that the freight carriers would attempt such an eleventh-hour money grab at the risk of killing Amtrak, and pulled their support from the bill. "This is an Amtrak bill addressing Amtrak issues," UTU National Legislative Director James Brunkenhoefer said. "That the Association of American Railroads would attempt to use it for their own economic gain, while jeopardizing our nation's rail passenger system, is unconscionable. "With the budget slashers in power on Capitol Hill, Amtrak is in trouble and we were willing to negotiate for its survival and for the jobs of Amtrak workers. The freight railroads are making money faster than it can be printed; let them take up this fight somewhere else." --National negotiations remain at standstill.......##C Nine-month-old negotiations between the UTU and carriers represented by the National Carriers Conference Committee (NCCC) are at a standstill, despite the assistance of the National Mediation Board (NMB). NCCC is representing 35 railroads, including seven major carriers. The Burlington Northern, Southern Pacific, Grand Trunk Western and Illinois Central Gulf are bargaining individually with their unions, while keeping an eye on national talks. Negotiations with the IC recently became heated over working conditions caused by blistering summer weather and a persistent shortage of crews. "Our people are literally being worked to death at certain locations," said John Hales, general chairperson, adding that prolonged temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit were severely affecting operating crews working in engines that lacked air conditioning. The carrier is 70 engineers short of full staffing, according to reports. One employee reportedly was forced to work 57 consecutive days without a day off. "What has happened is that they have so much more business than they have employees that trains are stacked up from one place to another," Hales said. "We are trying to address the manpower issues in the negotiations." IC already has contracts with its clerks, carmen, boilermakers, electrical workers, sheet metal workers, signalmen and machinists that will raise wages 18% by the end of 1999. While the NCCC claims the IC pacts are too rich for the carriers its represents, figures show that NCCC- represented carriers have posted more than $2.8 billion in operating profits already this year. --DOT seeks more time for drug & alcohol tests..##D Transportation workers with shy bladders who are not able to produce a sufficient urine sample for a drug or alcohol test would have additional time to provide the sample under amended testing requirements now under consideration. Under the proposal, workers who cannot provide at least 30 milliliters of urine for a single specimen collection or 45 milliliters for a split specimen will be told to drink eight ounces of fluid immediately, and an additional eight ounces every 30 minutes up to a total of 40 ounces. If within four hours the worker still has not produced a specimen, the test is discontinued and the employer notified. The worker would then have to be evaluated by a licensed physician. If the physician determines a medical condition prevented the worker from providing the specimen, the employee's failure to provide a sample would not be deemed a refusal to take a test. If the physician cannot find a medical reason, the employee's failure would then be regarded as a refusal to test. A refusal to test is equivalent to a positive test, which can carry a nine-month suspension. BUS DEPT. / STREET BEAT --"We welcome Bernie McNelis as new director.......##E Editorial by Gertraud K. Weber Vice President and Director, Bus Dept. Dear Bus Members: Well, we have survived another convention and the delegates worked pretty hard to get through all the elections and some articles in the constitution. As you have read, soon we will have a new vice president and director of the UTU Bus Department, Bernie McNelis, a capable, experienced and hard-working gentleman whom many of you have met and been impressed by. The Bus Department only has one vice president and to elect someone that is inexperienced and uninformed could be a fatal blow to the department and bus members. Bus drivers, by the very nature of their job, are isolated from each other, as well as fiercely independent. Whether it is the transit driver who goes down the same street umpteen times, a charter driver who is gone for days or even weeks or just a day trip, even the school bus driver, who carries the most precious cargo of all, our children -- all are isolated from their fellow drivers. The only time bus drivers seem to socialize is at bus terminals, or in their home terminals. All bus drivers, regardless of which category bus they drive, are responsible for the safety of their passengers. Many bus drivers suffer from abuse, ranging from bad language to actual assault. This kind of abuse sometimes makes us forget the many really nice people we, as bus drivers, do meet and I am glad to say the nice people usually outnumber the not-so-nice people and that is what makes our job as bus drivers so interesting. In the meantime, all our hard-won workers' benefits are under attack in nearly every state of the nation. Check your July "Bus Mail" and notice how many states have been trying to pass right-to-work legislation, which would create a whole new bunch of "free riders" at the expense of dedicated union members. We, the working people of the good old U.S.A., have to put a stop to this kind of union busting. We have the numbers and, if we want, the power to do so. Management is reaping the benefits of all the anti-worker legislation that has been introduced lately and we, the working people, are in many cases helping management to achieve their goal of total control over our working conditions and, of course, wages and benefits. Let us all stand together and unite, not only within the United Transportation Union, but stand with all workers, union and non-union alike, and we will be a force to be reckoned with. Stay well and stay in touch. In solidarity, Gertraud K. Weber

--Enough not enough for carriers, executives....##F Are the railroads and their executives making enough money? Here are some figures to help you decide. As you read, remember that from 1970 to 1991, the number of rail workers declined by 59% while they achieved a 33% increase in output and a 253% gain in productivity. At CSX last year, the five top executives split more than $8.47 million. CEO John Snow was paid more than $3.4 million, a 114% increase from just four years ago. CSX Corp. reported net income of $19 million for the second quarter of 1995. It would have reported a net income of $184 million (compared with $162 million last year) but it had extraordinary expenses for streamlining CSX Transportation's communications system and moving the corporate headquarters of its Sea-Land subsidiary. CSXT would have reported an all-time quarterly record for rail operating income of $270 million except for the one-time charges. Recent cutbacks in the number of employees at CSX Intermodal will save the company between $20 million and $25 million a year. The top five executives at Union Pacific Corp. shared more than $12.8 million last year. Company CEO Dick Davidson alone was paid more than $3.3 million for an increase over his 1991 compensation of about 85%. Union Pacific Railroad earned $219 million during the first quarter of 1995, compared with $191 million last year. Revenue was up more than $200 million during the three months. UP cut management ranks by almost 500 during the quarter. At subsidiary Chicago & North Western, as a result of the UP takeover the top brass are cashing stock options from $100,000 up to $19 million for CEO Robert Schmiege. C&NW also donated $1.5 million to Schmiege's favorite charity "in honor of Mr. Schmiege." C&NW executives also are guaranteed an annual salary and bonus for three years, and another three-year lump sum if they're terminated before the first three-year period ends. Norfolk Southern's CEO David Goode received more than $1.24 million last year, an increase of almost 40% over his 1992 wage package. NS reported its highest ever quarterly net income and earnings per share. The carrier said its net income was more than $181 million, up from $178 million last year. Rail operating income was up 4% to more than $283 million. Southern Pacific rewarded Edward Moyers, former CEO who left in February, with more than $5.87 million, including $3.6 million in a stock bonus. SP would have earned $15.5 million last quarter except for special charges related to the write-down of about 600 miles of light density line slated for lease, sale or abandonment, and for the costs of eliminating 600 employees. At Conrail, CEO James Hagen received more than $1.3 million in compensation. The carrier reported net income of $123 million for the quarter, up from $101 million last year. The carrier reduced operating expenses by more than $19 million in the quarter while reducing employment by 590 positions. Burlington Northern's Gerald Grinstein was paid more than $2.53 million in 1994. The carrier reported net income for the second quarter of 1995 of $130 million, up from $82 million in 1994. Revenue rose 7.7% to $1.28 billion, but a less than 2% increase in expenses helped operating income soar 41% to $251 million. The carrier said it will cut more than 800 jobs from its work force this year. The moral to this story of unabashed greed? While the top brass scurry to line their own pockets, they will work even harder to cut the bottoms out of the pockets of the people who actually sweated to earn the money in the first place. --South Dakota locals vie for TPEL trophy..........##G South Dakota State Legislative Director Rick Davids recently presented Local 0233 Legislative Representative R.C. Lathrop with a plaque honoring the local for having the highest average TPEL donation per member in the state. Local 0233 represents members working for Burlington Northern in the Aberdeen area. The "traveling trophy" will be awarded each year to the South Dakota local having the highest average TPEL donation, Davids said. Davids and Lathrop are pictured in a photograph included in the traditional print edition of this month's UTU News. --Former NLD Jim Snyder dies 74.................##H Retired UTU National Legislative Director James R. Snyder passed away August 6 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. He was 74 years old and had suffered from crippling arthritis for many years. Snyder announced his decision not to run for re- election at the 1987 UTU convention and retired on January 1, 1988, after having served as the union's national legislative director for 16 years. During that tenure, Snyder was both friend and foe to many on Capitol Hill. He was well known to many influential members of Congress, and highly regarded both for his honesty and integrity and as a strong voice for rail labor in our nation's capitol. Snyder was born June 26, 1921, in Cornelia, Ga. A member of UTU Local 1245 at Atlanta, Ga., Snyder began his railroad career as a brakeman for the Southern Railway in 1942. In 1950 he was promoted to conductor in road service on the Atlantic Division. From 1946 on, Snyder served members as a local lodge officer, including positions as secretary, legislative representative, local chairperson and president. He was elected Georgia State Legislative Board director for the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in 1956, alternate national legislative director in 1964, re-elected to that position in 1968, and continued in that capacity for the UTU after unification. He was elected national legislative director for the UTU at the 1971 convention, and re-elected to the position at three succeeding conventions. Snyder also served as Georgia state representative in 1956 and with distinction on many state and Federal committees and appointments for the Democratic Party. A veteran, Snyder served in the U.S. Army in the South Pacific from 1939 until 1942. He was a member of the American Legion and a Shriner. Snyder is survived by his wife, Dorothy, a daughter and son, and two grandchildren. The family is requesting memorial contributions to the National Arthritis Foundation, Metropolitan Washington Chapter, 4555 Connecticut Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20008. NOTICES --UTU policy concerning fees objectors.............##I 1. Any non-member covered by a union shop or an agency shop agreement in the United States, has the right to object to political and ideological expenditures not related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or other activities germane to collective bargaining.

The International shall retain a certified public accountant to perform an independent audit of the records of the International and subordinate units maintained by the International General Secretary- Treasurer. The International shall also retain a neutral referee for the purpose of determining the percentage of expenditures that fall within the categories specified in Section 3. The amount of the expenditures that fall within Section 3 shall be the basis for calculating the reduced fees that must be paid by the objector. The neutral referee shall also give an opinion concerning the adequacy of the escrow amounts maintained pursuant to Section 17, and later will verify the existence and the amounts of money in any escrow accounts. 5. The neutral referee shall complete the report no later than May 31. This report shall include an analysis of the major categories of union expenses that are chargeable and non-chargeable. A copy of the neutral referee's report shall be sent to all non-members whose timely objections have not been revoked. 6. Each person entitled to receive the referee's report may challenge the validity of the calculations made by the neutral referee by filing an appeal with the International General Secretary-Treasurer. Such appeal must be made by sending a letter to the International General Secretary-Treasurer postmarked no later than June 30. 7. After the close of the appeals period, the International General Secretary-Treasurer shall provide a list of appellants to the American Arbitration Association (AAA). All appeals shall be consolidated. The AAA shall appoint an arbitrator from a special panel maintained by the AAA for the purpose of these arbitrations. The AAA shall inform the International General Secretary-Treasurer and the appellant(s) of the arbitrator selected. 8. The arbitration shall commence by August 1 or as soon thereafter as the AAA can schedule the arbitration. The arbitrator shall have control over all procedural matters affecting the arbitration in order to fulfill the need for an informed and expeditious arbitration. 9. Each party to the arbitration shall bear their own costs. The appellants shall have the option of paying a pro-rata portion of the arbitrator's fees and expenses. The balance of such fees and expenses shall be paid by UTU. 10. A court reporter shall make a transcript of all proceedings before the arbitrator. This transcript shall be the official record of the proceedings and may be purchased by the appellants. If appellants do not purchase a copy of the transcript, a copy shall be available for inspection at the International during normal business hours. 11. Appellants may, at their expense, be represented by counsel or other representative of choice. Appellants need not appear at the hearing and shall be permitted to file written statements with the arbitrator instead of appearing. Such statement shall be filed no later than fifteen (15) days after the transcript becomes available, but in no case more than thirty (30) days after the hearing closes. 12. Fourteen (14) days prior to the start of the first hearing, appellants shall be provided with a list of all exhibits intended to be introduced at the hearing and a list of all witnesses intended to be called, except for exhibits and witnesses that may be introduced for rebuttal. On written request from an appellant, copies of exhibits (or in the case of voluminous exhibits, summaries thereof) shall be provided to them. Additionally, copies of exhibits shall be available for inspection and copying at the hearing. 13. The International shall have the burden of establishing that the reduced fees set forth in the neutral referee's report are lawful. 14. If the arbitrator shall determine that more than one day of hearings is necessary, hearings shall be scheduled to continue from day to day until completed. The parties to the appeal shall have the right to file a brief within fifteen (15) days after the transcript of the hearing is available, but in no case more than thirty (30) days after the hearing closes. The arbitrator shall issue a decision within forty-five (45) days after the submission of post-hearing briefs or within such other reasonable period as is consistent with the rules established by the AAA. 15. The arbitrator shall give full consideration to the legal requirements limiting the amounts that objectors may be charged, and shall set forth in the decision the legal and arithmetic basis for such decision. 16. If an objector receiving an advance reduction wishes to continue objection, he/she shall continue to pay the reduced fees that he/she is currently paying until the neutral referee issues the report. As soon as possible after the issuance of the neutral referee's report, he/she shall pay the amount of the reduced fees calculated by the neutral referee. Persons objecting for the first time shall be sent a copy of the report prepared by the neutral referee for the previous year and shall pay the reduced fees as soon as possible. 17. Each month thereafter for all objectors, an amount shall be put in an interest-bearing escrow account equal to 25% of the reduced monthly fees, or such other greater amount as the neutral referee may recommend. All objectors from the previous year shall be paid the amount of non-chargeable money that is in the escrow account as determined by the neutral referee's report as soon as practicable after its issuance. The appropriate unit of UTU shall not, however, take its portion of the monies in the escrow account until fifteen days after the conclusion of the period within which an objector may appeal the report of the neutral referee, or upon the issuance of the decision of the arbitrator, whichever is later. 18. When the decision of the arbitrator is announced the monies remaining in the escrow account shall be distributed in accordance with the decision.

Thomas DuBose answering some frequently asked questions concerning the union's Designated Legal Counsel program. ------------------------------------------------ Dear Brothers and Sisters: I am writing in response to questions that have come up from time to time concerning lawyers who handle cases under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA), and their relationship to the union. The right of railroad unions to appoint specific attorneys as "designated counsel" for the purpose of advising and representing members on matters pertaining to their rights under FELA has been affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, most recently in 1971 in United Transportation Union v. Michigan State Bar. The union clearly has the right to encourage its members to use the services of those attorneys whom it has designated by virtue of their competency in FELA law. Likewise, UTU Designated Legal Counsel have an obligation to adhere to operating guidelines that the union establishes. Under the guidelines, for example, approved attorneys are limited to charging our members a lower fee than is customary in other personal injury cases. They also are expected to render free advice to our members concerning their injury cases and other legal matters related to railroad employment. Approved attorneys are also required to make themselves available to attend official union meetings to answer questions about FELA and explain to our members their legal rights. With respect to this obligation, only attorneys approved by UTU should be permitted to attend union meetings, and only then when they have been invited by the appropriate local officer, and have notified the general chairperson and state legislative director with jurisdiction. It is not uncommon for Designated Legal Counsel to sponsor appropriate social functions. The Designated Legal Counsel are within their legal rights in doing so, as long as the function is not designed to benefit any specific members of the union politically or otherwise. Our Designated Legal Counsel, therefore, are given both rights and obligations that do not apply to nondesignated attorneys. Moreover, to further state the obvious, there are some actions that should never occur with any law firm, designated or not. Care should always be taken, for instance, to avoid involvement by outside lawyers in our organization's politics, and no payments or fee splitting should ever be made to union officials or to our members in consideration for referring cases. These actions are illegal under Federal law, and in some cases, state laws. Our program of designating approved legal counsel exists for a purpose-to help our members receive very qualified legal assistance at a fair price. We owe it to our members and to our Designated Legal Counsel to keep the system operating properly and as an efficient means of achieving its purpose. Please contact my office if you have any questions on this important matter. Fraternally yours, G. Thomas DuBose

A Special Circular "Notice" with samples of all election materials was forwarded to all locals on August 1; nominations for the above offices will be accepted at all October 1995 local meetings, with the election to follow either by mail ballot or to be held at the local's November meeting dependent upon local bylaws and procedures. --UTUIA notices of unclaimed benefits...........##P Listed here are the names of participants in the United Transportation Union Insurance Association (former ORC&B, the BRT and the BLF&E) who have unclaimed benefits in the amounts shown.
