How is the UTU Organized?


The UTU has three levels of operation.  The Local level deals directly with claims and grievances
for violation of the collective bargaining agreement.  Local 194 is comprised of the (T) committee,
which represents Conductors and Trainmen, and the (E) committee that represents Engineers,
Engineer Trainees and Vice Local Chairman.  The intermediate level includes the General
Committee of Adjustment (contracts & discipline) as well as state legislative boards (safety &
legislation).  The international is the administrative level, responsible for execution on the UTU
policies and efficient operation of the union.
