Congressmen Join Rail Labor Opposing NMB Rule Proposals TCU’s Legislative Department was very active in seeking support for this letter in the House of Representatives. TCU President Robert Scardelletti said, “Our legislative representatives were very persuasive in convincing Congressman to sign-on to this letter.” TCU and other rail unions have been actively fighting the NMB’s proposed rule changes that would require fees to be paid by the unions when filing for arbitration under the National Railroad Adjustment Board or other special boards of adjustment. This rule change is nothing more than another attack on workers by the Bush Administration. The NMB has scheduled a public hearing on its proposal for early January. TCU and rail labor will continue to oppose this anti-worker NMB scheme.
