Employees of Western Rail Road in Braunfels, Texas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cemex USA, have voted to be represented by the UTU.
The railroad moves crushed rock, cement and other aggregates for interchange with Union Pacific at Dittlinger and Stonetown, Texas.
UTU International President Mike Futhey praised the work of UTU organizer Mike Lewis in “bringing first class representation to another hardworking group of railroad workers.”
