Brotherhood Railway Carmen

Read Local Chairman James Ramey's Guide Regarding Discipline and Arbitration Process in the Members Library

I am proud to represent our lodge as your president. I fully understand the frustrations and challenges we are facing in the rail industry. I often hear what does the union do for me? Let me ask you what have you done for your union? You and I are the union and we are stronger together. I've been active in the union for over 15 years holding various offices. I do my best to represent and fight for us all. Reach out to me anytime. Although we may not get the desired results you will get the attention and fight we all deserve.

Our Brotherhood Railway Carmen Division of TCU was founded at Cedar Rapids, Iowa on October 27, 1888. The first By-Laws were adopted at Joint Convention in Topeka, Kansas, September 1890. Our union has merged with other railway unions five times. In July 1987, Convention action re-named the union Transportation Communications International Union (TCU) effective October 1, 1987. The Brotherhood Railway Carmen is a division of the TCU. The most recent merger was January 1, 2012, TCU Merged with International Association of Machinist and is the Railroad Division of that union. Review the Brotherhood Railway Carmen first 50-year history.

The Union we call TCU/IAM today took root back in 1899 when, on a cold winter's evening shortly after Christmas, 33 railroad clerks gathered in the back room of Behrens' cigar shop in Sedalia, Missouri. That night, December 29, they formed Local Lodge Number 1 of a union they named the Order of Railroad Clerks of America. Today our range is extensive and complex, on and off the railroads throughout the transportation industry. But the union still runs on those same simple principles of democracy and full membership participation.
