Pictured are General Chairmen, Rich Nadeau, Mike McCarthy and
District 19 Organizer Joe May.  They spent the week in the District office in Denver CO preparing for the upcoming First Contract Negotiations for our newest members of the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad. The Carmen on the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad recently voted to be represented by the IAM and become part of our Union family.  Our Section Six notice has been served and dates requested in which to begin Negotiations.   At this time a date has not yet be confirmed.

   Further, the Locomotive Mechanics on the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad are waiting on the NMB to set a date for them to vote for representation and to become IAMAW members.   Brother May submitted signed A-cards to the NMB and we are just waiting on the NMB to set a date for the vote.  We will continue to update you as new information becomes available.

     From the District 19 Staff and all of its members we welcome you, the Carmen of the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad to the IAMAW, District 19.  We will be in full support of you while you go through the process in obtaining your first contract.
