Whether it be a derailment, a crossing collision, or a hazmat release, the initial inspection, and often action, is performed by the conductor. The experiences often are traumatic, both to the victim and to the SMART-TD member who must immediately deal with the incident, but on occasion, our actions result in the saving of lives, protection of public property, and/or prevention of derailments/incidents.

Our Union is built on the blood and sweat of our brothers and sisters who fought for equal and fair worker's rights. From a secret society to one of the largest unions representing conductors, engineers, bus drivers, sheet metal workers and airlines, we are proud of our history and the history we make every day.

Right to Work lowers wages, loosens safety restrictions and eliminates YOUR right to representation. Right to Work not only affects railroaders but everyone who has a voice in their workplace!
