Notices: ( Updated 2009-03-07 )

To date, the Piedmont Division has experienced no fewer than 13 Rule Violation Incidents.  The more incidents we have, the more likely we will be closely scrutinized & rule checked. Division 375 asks that you please take your time to do your job & focus on what you are doing.

BLE&T Divisions throughout North Carolina are contemplating reviving the North Carolina State Legislative Board with a $2.00 per month per member dues increase. Division 375 will discuss this business during the February & March monthly meetings.  The entire membership will be polled in mid-March.

Anyone interested in receiving the minutes from the Greensboro or Linwood Leadership Committees are encouraged to send an email to wslink@blet375.com and indicate which minutes you would like to receive (or minutes from both meetings.)  Included in the meeting minutes is a listing of agreement employees who are on the Leadership & Safety Committees throughout the Danville District. If you have a safety concern, idea for improvement, complaint, etc. please see one of the committee members so your item may be brought before the appropriate committee.
