Protect Our Right to Vote: Four years ago, the members of our union voted two-to-one for the Right to Vote for our union’s top officers. Now, with three of those top officers gone in disgrace, some BLET officials are trying to overturn the Right to Vote before it has ever been used. The Right to Vote holds our union’s top officers accountable directly to the members. We need that accountability now more than ever. BLET Members for Democracy is a group of members from across our union united to save our Right to Vote. You can help protect the Right to Vote by getting informed and spreading the word.

Here is a pdf file with questions and answers about what is going on and who is trying to overrule the will of the BLE&T membership

Check out the discussion and think for yourselves.
