BECOME A MEMBER

By becoming an RWU member, you are joining a network of rank & file railroad workers across North America to build power, solidarity, unity, and democracy not only in your own craft union but in all unions across the railroad industry.

RWU members WANT:

Stronger unions that can stand up to carrier abuses — unions that can win substantial gains for the workforce.

To form a united front among various craft unions, putting an end to the rail carriers’ divide-and-conquer tactics.

Genuine union-based safety programs (not BS carrier fakes) that address the real safety issues at the workplace.

RWU members BELIEVE:

All rank & file railroaders should be active and involved in the workings of their union, at all levels.

Railroad unions are stronger when we negotiate contracts as a united coalition of all.

We have the power to reign in the rail carriers, stop their drive for single crew operations, PSR, and all the rest.

Each nail head has the last two digits of the year that the date nai l was hammered into a railroad tie. These stout little fasteners were used as tagging devices by railroads to visually identify the age of a wooden railroad tie. They were commonly used until the 1970s.

Most dates are available, but are limited in supply. Get them while they last! We will do our best to send you the date(s) of your choice!

Each date nail comes in its own felt-lined box, complete with a certificate of authenticity. They make great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other special occasions. A wonderful way to celebrate that memorable year or remarkable person, while honoring railroad history!
