Indiana. The Canadian National Railway, CSX Transportation and the Norfolk Southern Railway are the three largest railroads in Indiana. The 2021 Indiana State Rail Plan says those three have main lines that link many manufacturing and consumer regions. SMART Transportation Division as well as the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) represent nearly half the nation’s railroaders. To be more specific, they represent the people who move the trains such as conductors and engineers. If the trains don’t move, the products stay put. With Indiana being heavy in agriculture and manufacturing, a strike could hit the state hard and right about the time harvest season is in full swing.
Edwards, a full-time union officer, who has been representing the membership since 2009, says this process has been all consuming. The

Railroad strike avoided; now in ‘cooling-off period’ until vote
The tentative agreement will be presented to the general chairman first. Then, if approved, it will be sent to the membership for a vote. The entire process will take up to six weeks. Kenny Edwards, Indiana legislative director for International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation Workers’ Transportation Division (SMART), has worked on the railroad for 32 years. He is a fifth-genera tion railroad employee. Edwards, a former Peru resident, has been at the bargaining table over and over again, fighting for the those he repre sents. Most would think it is about employees getting more in their paychecks, but what has come to the surface and has remained at the surface is the quality-of-life issues for railroad employees.“Qualityof life issues were the hold up and why things went to the brink. We were asking for unpaid time off and under the preliminary contract that the two sides agreed to this morn ing (Sept 15), after a 20-hour marathon negotia tion, unpaid leave was a part of it,” Edwards explained. He said there will be a certain num ber of days per year available to employees. Whether seniority played into how much unpaid time off employees would receive, was not certain.
“We aren’t going to get to where we want to be overnight, but we are going to get there,” he
Thesaid.next six weeks will be crucial for railroad employees, including those in Miami County. If membership votes down the contract, the ripple effect will be felt throughout the county, state, andEdwardscountry.added, “We can’t move the mountain all at once. We have to do it one shovel full of dirt at a time. The more shovels, the more of the mountain we move and the faster we move the mountain.”
After 20 hours of negotiations, Class I rail roads and three labor unions managed to reach a tentative agreement, thus avoiding a strike. ForManynow.railroad employees were prepared to strike beginning at 12:01 a.m. Friday, Sept. 16, but the temporary deal has managed to keep the trains rolling. What happens now is called a “cooling-off period” that keeps railroad employ ees from striking, which would have brought rail transportation to a screeching halt.
responsibility of “putting our membership in the position to make a good living and have a good quality of life through legislative and safe ty efforts” is his job. Edwards understands these things take time but keeps a positive atti tude about the process.
Trains continue to roll along the rails in Miami Coumty and across the country while employees wait through the ‘cooling-off’ period. A tentative
