We listened. Most staunch union man I\u2019d ever seen and (he) was a big brother to me.<br \/>\n\u201cI am hoping to do a good job for SMART TD and keep the level of professionalism just like Randy did.\u201d<br \/>\nCarey says two-person crew legislation similar to what was passed in California will be a priority in Oregon.<br \/>\n\u201cWe will get it,\u201d he said. \u201cThe timing is right.\u201d<br \/>\nIn Wisconsin, William \u201cAndy\u201d Hauck succeeds Craig Peachy, who also retired effective Jan. 1. Hauck began as assistant SLD in April 2016 and is a member of Local 583.<br \/>\nHauck said he\u2019s taking over the state legislative board at a good time.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45488\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45488\" style=\"width: 100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45488 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smart-union.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/andy-hauck-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"132\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45488\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">William &#8220;Andy&#8221; Hauck is Wisconsin&#8217;s new state legislative director.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n\u201cWe have a new governor in Wisconsin \u2014 we\u2019re \u2018Scott free\u2019,\u201d he quipped, referring to the anti-union former Gov. Scott Walker, who enacted right-to-work-for-less and other anti-union initiatives during his terms.<br \/>\nWisconsin is among four states that have passed state two-person crew legislation, so Hauck\u2019s focus will be on bringing legislation forward on issues including taxi-cab legislation covering rail worker transportation; rail inspection reforms through the state Commissioner of Railroads Office; legislation covering safety lighting in rail yards and ensuring that full Positive Train Control (PTC) interface access is available to conductors.<br \/>\n\u201cThe regulation states that ALL crew members will be trained and have the capability to interact with the safety overlay system of PTC,\u201d Hauck said.<br \/>\nHauck\u2019s predecessor, Peachy, hired out with the Soo Line railroad in 1974 and had his rail career disrupted a number of times because of layoffs. He returned for good in 1990 with the Wisconsin Central Ltd., a subsidiary of Canadian National that was successfully organized by the United Transportation Union in 1997.<br \/>\nPeachy, of Local 583 (Fond du Lac, Wis.), got involved as a local legislative representative, eventually being elected state legislative director in 2012 and then re-elected in 2016.<br \/>\n\u201cIt has been an honor and privilege to have leaders like Brothers John Risch and James Stem, who were always there to guide and direct me to be the best state legislative director that I could be,\u201d Peachy said in a letter announcing his retirement. \u201cThe SMART TD Legislative Department is second to none due to our past and present elected leadership.\u201d<br \/>\nSMART TD wishes Peachy and Russ the best in their retirements and Carey and Hauck success in their work to serve our brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two assistant state legislative directors were elevated to lead their respective states\u2019 legislative boards after a pair of retirements at the end of 2018.
