BMWED NEWS ALERT EMAILTrouble viewing this email, click here to read the article. | |  |  | | BMWED COVID-19 RESOURCES | As a reminder, the BMWED has set-up a COVID-19 resource page for all members who contract or are exposed to the virus. Also included is a link to the Railroad Retirement Board's COVID-19 resource page, which will assist you in collecting your disability payments in the event you become sick.
It is important to contact your respective system officer immediately if you contract or are exposed to the virus. All Brotherhood officers remain in frequent contact with the railroads and can help you navigate the processes to keep you safe, retain income, assist with any insurance questions and note your absence. Every railroad is different. It is important to contact your system office. They can also be of great guidance in dealing with the RRB. Also, instruct your spouse now about this process as you may need their assistance in the event you get sick.
Our demands of the railroads are detailed in the letters sent earlier this month. They are a length, comprehensive list, including containment practices, testing and tracing procedures, compensation for time missed, and various other important details. You can find them on our website, as well.
Please remember to think of others and yourselves and do what you can to protect and stay safe. We all must be united in the general welfare of all railroaders. This virus is not inconsequential or tame. It has killed four men in our Brotherhood and inflicted hundreds of others.
