We’ve heard about it from our brothers and sisters who experience it firsthand every day: there are issues at the border. From the locations and safety concerns surrounding crew swaps, to determining who conducts inspections and where they take place, there are serious questions that deserve thorough answers.
Like any complicated issue, there’s inevitable gray area and ambiguity. To wade through this and see members’ concerns for himself, SMART-TD President Jeremy Ferguson traveled to El Paso, Texas in March to put eyes on it himself, separate fact from fiction, and get a sense of what these members experience every day.
Leadership doesn’t mean hiding behind a computer screen or sitting in an office. It’s getting out, showing up, and making sure that our members know that they are what drives our union.
