Railroad Workers United

Railroad Workers United (RWU) formerly known as Railroad Operating Crafts United is a cross-union rail workers’ reform group[1] that was started as a result of a push by workers from the United Transportation Union and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen to merge unions. They are now a cross-craft organization that supports all non-management railroad workers. RWU has a steering committee where members can be elected at their bi-annual convention.

Campaigns

RWU is credited with starting the 'No Single Employee Crews' campaign.[2]
