    • Welcome to the Website for the Burlington System Division! 

      The Burlington System Division, also known as the "Q" or the "old Q", is part of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division (BMWED), which is itself a Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and a member of the IBT Rail Conference. 

      Our nickname comes from the name of a former railroad which our System Division represented, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy (CBQ) Railroad. While the CBQ is now gone, having merged into the current BNSF Railway, our System Division still proudly represents members working on 6 railroads and across 13 states in the Great Plains and Great Lakes regions of our country.

      BMWED WEBINAR - UNDERSTANDING OUR RAILROAD RETIREMENT - OCTOBER 23 @ 6:00 PM CDT

      This webinar aims to clear up misinformation about sustaining or improving our retirement benefits. Many members mistakenly think railroad retirement is a bargaining issue, but it's actually a legislative/political matter.

      In this 1-hour webinar, we'll cover the RRB's work, the REEF Act, and the laws shaping our retirement, unemployment, and sickness benefits. Mark Thomson, Assistant to the Labor Member, and other BMWED panelists will provide accurate information and context.

      The webinar won't address how to access specific RRB benefits or navigate processes like BA-6 forms or annuities. Instead, it will help members understand the proper venue for defending and improving our benefits. I'll also share resources for more detailed information.

      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. 

      Please read this letter and reach out to your Vice General Chairman or Genral Chairman George Loveland if there are any questions.
