Welcome to the Burlington System Division, part of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division (BMWED) within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and the IBT Rail Conference. Nicknamed "the Q" or "the old Q" after the former Chicago, Burlington and Quincy (CBQ) Railroad, our division proudly represents members working on six railroads across 13 states in the Great Plains and Great Lakes regions.
Next Round of Bargaining
To simplify where the Burlington System Division is on Section 6 Bargaining on the various railroads we represent, we have made countdown clocks for members to reference. We are encouraging all of our members to attend their lodge meeting to discuss what they would like to see in this next round of bargaining.
CALLING THEM OUT
This video highlights what Rail Labor has been thinking for decades! Please watch it and share it with your friends and family. The reductions in the railroad workforce have had a devastating impact, not only on Rail Labor but also on the communities that rely on rail transportation for hazardous materials. Let's all stand with Rail Labor for ALL of our safety and well-being.
Check your Form BA-6 from the RRB!
The RRB will be sending out Form BA-6 in the latter part of June. It is extremely important to review these forms for accuracy and file a protest (Form G-70) as soon as possible. If a protest is filed with the RRB, you will need to provide proof of compensation from the Carrier in that month to receive credit or military orders that clearly show service in the disputed month.
The G-70 forms are available on the RRB tab within Member Resources menu.
