RRB announces dates for March-June 2017 informational conferences
CLEVELAND, February 1 — The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) has announced a schedule of dates for the agency’s spring 2017 informational conferences.
Informational conferences will be held in 19 locations across the country, beginning on March 10 in Baldwin Park, California, and concluding on June 23 in Portland, Oregon. Additional conference for fall 2017 will be announced at a later date.
Started approximately 60 years ago by the RRB’s Office of the Labor Member, the conferences provide rail union officers with a comprehensive overview of the provisions and financing of the railroad retirement and unemployment insurance systems. These officials, in turn, pass on to their fellow rail labor membership the information acquired at the conferences.
New this year is the ability to register online for certain conferences. To go paperless and avoid having to mail or fax your registration form, please visit the RRB’s Informational Conference Program website: https://www.rrb.gov/lmo/info_conf.asp .
Informational Conferences are open to union officials and their spouses by invitation only. Labor representatives who do not receive an invitation to a conference in their area should contact the RRB toll-free at (877) 772-5772 and request that they be added to the agency’s invitation database. Registration for each informational conference begins at 8:00 a.m., with the programs beginning promptly at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 12:15 p.m.
