IAM&
AW ORGANIZES DAKOTA, MINNESOTA AND EASTERN RR

Paul Wolf, Donnie Jacobs, Kevin Walton,
Jeff Dunn, J Plooster and Chad Beck.
The Mechanics, Apprentices and Working Foremen employed on the Dakota,
Minnesota & Eastern Railroad needed a union. They came to the IAM&AW,
District 19 because of our long history and experience within the rail
industry as well as our undying commitment to do everything possible to
ensure our members achieve the best possible Agreements and working
conditions.
With the support
of the Officers of Local Lodge 112, the foresight and commitment of the
Members of Local Lodge 112, the volunteers from Local Lodge 112 to
participate on the Organizing Committee and the determination of the
Mechanical Department Employees on the DM&E, including the leadership we
found willing to step forward and take the necessary measures to make
this campaign a success, the IAM&AW was certified as the duly authorized
Representative of these new 104 members effective June 8, 2010.
We welcome all of these new members into this great union and look
forward to our future endeavors together.
