To All IBEW Railroad Local Unions Covered Under National Negotiations:

This is to advise you that the count on the ratification votes was recently completed. I am pleased to inform you that the ratification passes by a vote of 1,929 in favor and 1,560 against – a margin of 369 votes. Additional information will be forthcoming. On behalf of IBEW President Lonnie Stephenson, I would like to personally thank all of the IBEW Railroad General Chairmen and their staffs, the representatives of IBEW Railroad Department, and Railroad Department Administrative Assistant Reggie DeLauder for working diligently to help make this possible. I would also like to thank the Local Union representatives who took the time out of their busy schedules to come to Washington, DC to help with the ratification vote count. Fraternally, Bill Bohne, Jr. Director - IBEW Railroad Department 202-728-6016
