I also want to personally thank all those individuals who ran for a position in the Union Election as I know that their sacrafice of time and effort is an unselfish act that can not be fully appreciated. Thank you all very Much.

And Lastly I would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and wish everyone health and happiness through the holiday and the new year.

Thanks again.

It is very important to have the most accurate mailing list available. We can only achieve this with a little help from you.
If you have made a change to your mailing address in the last year or so (since the last ballots went out) please take a moment and drop me an email with your new address. Feel free to add any other contact info (mobile devices, etc.) you would like to update. I will update your info with the National Division. If you are not sure whether we have the right info, please send it along just to be sure.
Fraternally,
Nick

!. BRCF allows a member to susspend their membership and pay a minimal monthly dues to keep their benefits (particularly retirement) active. Here's their language:

Q: If I am not working for a complete calendar month, must I continue to pay BR&CF dues?

A: No. For reasons other than being "Held Out of Service," the Constitution provides for complete relief or partial relief from dues when a member is not working as a result of sickness, injury, military service, or being furloughed.

Complete relief requires no dues payment at all but, likewise, all benefits remain dormant until the membership is reactivated.

Partial Relief from dues requires the minimum dues payment of $4.50 monthly or $45.90 annually. It allows the member to accrue additional time toward the retirement benefit. Refer to Article XVIII, Sections 1 and 2.

This applies to Reserve Board members and you will need to contact BRCF. As I understand it, you may be entitled to a refund of some "active" member dues. This is still a membership oriented organization and a non-profit organization that is still run by rails.

As of my last conversation with LE&CMPA, they will allow youto cancel your policy. As for continuation of benefits after returning to service, I got no definate answer. I suggest that you contact the LE&CMPA Company office or online.]]> no_email@example.com (NJohnson) http://www.blet28.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=440#440 http://www.blet28.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=430#430 http://www.blet28.org/2009studyguide.pdf]]> no_email@example.com (SWhitman) http://www.blet28.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=430#430 http://www.blet28.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=341#341
