Attention SMART-TD Members,
We are calling all available members to join forces with our 500 dedicated SMART-TD brothers and sisters at the MBTA commuter railroad operated by Keolis in Boston, Massachusetts. Our members have been without a contract since July 1, 2022, and they need our support now more than ever.
Stand with us for fair wages and affordable healthcare! Bring your signs, wear your union gear, and let’s make our voices heard!
Details of the rally
On Wednesday, October 23, a rally will be held to support all rail labor impacted by Keolis’s negligence. This rally is a vital opportunity to show solidarity and demand what our members rightfully deserve. RESPECT!!!
- When: 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23
- Where: South Station, 700 Atlantic Ave., Boston, MA 02110
- Focus: Fighting for fair wages and affordable healthcare
Why action is needed
Keolis, the massive French multinational who operates MBTA’s commuter rail, has shown a shocking disregard for our member’s worth and contributions. Despite ongoing negotiations, Keolis has shown a clear lack of commitment to bargaining in good faith, treating SMART-TD members along with members of BLE, IBEW, IAM, ATDA, BRS, TCU, and BRC with the same disrespect. They may get away with this kind of behavior on their rail lines in Shanghai or Qatar, but it’s not going to work in Massachusetts.
