Brothers,

 

I would like to thank all of the Local 56 members who purchased the red Union shirts over the past few weeks. Not only were the shirts were sold to promote solidarity amongst our members, they also enabled us to help a fellow Brother who was in distress for the holidays. Brother Gerry Glennon (Comm Signalman), has two young children at home who are physically challenged. Recently, his son had a surgery that required Gerry to miss quite a bit of work, which in turn, exhausted all of his vacation and personal days. Needless to say, because of the generosity of our membership and their continued commitment towards solidarity, we were able to raise enough funds to hand Gerry a check for $1,100.00 at the Communications Christmas party at Flanagans in Babylon. With over 80 Brothers past & present looking on in attendance and the ability to make a difference, it personified the true meaning of the Holidays!  THANK YOU ALL!!!

 

Fraternally,

William White

 

Editors note: Brother White's efforts in this matter should be lauded as well, for without them there would've been no "Red Shirts" and nothing of note for the Glennon family.

National Day of Action

dsc01783.jpg

On May 17th 2007 transportation Unions around the country gathered in Washington DC for the National Day of Action, promoting the causes which affect us all in transportation Labor. I was honored and privileged to be part of a delegation representing the men of The Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen LIRR Local 56 at this national event. We had first rallied in front Amtraks Union Station HQ with approx. 200 of our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Rail Labor. We then listened to speeches from various Senators and Congressmen thanking Labor Unions for their support and openly stating their displeasure with the current administrations lack of funding for Amtrak. We then marched down to the national mall to join the main rally with thousands in attendance. With ever rising fuel costs and environmental concerns, Rail transportation will continue to grow and be a vital part of the future of America. It is important that we support the people who support us in our endeavors both as a Union and as a nation.
