All,
Attached is the SBA decision regarding IFCs. As you can see, the arbitrator ruled that the RR has the right to install and operate these cameras. This ends our dispute and you may advise your members that it is no longer necessary to file claims.
Note that this does not end our interaction with BNSF management about the reasonable use of these recording. As you can see, the arbitrator was also compelled to remark on the possibility that they could be used as a tool for harassment. If, or when, that occurs, we will fight them tooth and nail to assure our member’s rights and dignity are addressed. I will send a hard copy of this Decision to each of you via US Mail.
Alan
