Lodge minutes will not be posted until they have been approved at the meeting following.

Some Carmen positions require special training and certification, an example is a truck driver position requiring a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). If you don't have a CDL, protect your job investment and seniority rights by notifying the railroad in writing that you wish to obtain a CDL using our form. Make sure you send a copy of the form to your Local Chairman. By presenting this form to the carrier, it becomes their responsibility to see that you receive the required training at their cost. If you do not have a CDL you may loose your displacement and bidding rights on positions that require a CDL.
