In april 2024, the federal railroad administration finalized a rule requiring two-person crews on most freight trains, a move long advocated by blet. The blet emphasized the importance of this rule for enhancing safety, especially given the increasing length of freight trains.
A major issue was the protracted labor dispute between blet and new jersey transit (njt). The engineers, represented by blet, had been working without a contract since 2019. In november 2024, president biden established a second presidential emergency board to address the ongoing dispute.
The blet leadership spent much of the year also fighting for safety improvements, and the two main themes throughout the year were positive train control and two person crews. In 2024, the brotherhood of locomotive engineers and trainmen (blet) was prominently involved in several major issues, with the most talked-about being the prolonged labor dispute with new jersey transit (njt).
