FRA Certification Helpline: (216) 694-0240

BLET members at the Illinois Railway (IR) are currently voting on a tentative agreement. Ballots were mailed in late-July. Eligible members who have not yet received a ballot should call the BLET National Division’s dedicated voicemail line to have a replacement ballot emailed to them. To request a replacement ballot, please call (216) 241-2630, ext. 222. When connected with the voicemail, please leave the following information:

  • Your name, address and phone number;
  • The division to which you belong;
  • The railroad you work for;
  • Your date of birth;
  • The last four digits of your Social Security number; and
  • Your email address.

All replacement ballots will be distributed by email. Any member who requires a replacement ballot must include their email address in the voicemail; otherwise, they will not be able to participate in the ratification vote.

Ballots will be tabulated on Friday, August 14.
