Agreements
The BLE Western Lines office maintains a large repository of current and archived agreements between the union and the carrier. In order to provide quick and effecient access to our members for research and claims purposes, we are working to provide as many electronic copies of both national and local agreements as possible.
The agreements available on this website are categorized as either National, Archived (legacy National Agreements), or Divisional (local). If you are not able to find the agreement you need, please contact us at the BLE Office. If you have electronic versions of agreements that you'd like to post on this site, you may send those to the us as well and we'll be glad to make them available for our Local Chairman and Western Lines members.
