Denied Claims

This form is to be used by the individual employee when filing a claim, including a rejected time slip, or grievance with the BLET local chairman or BLET local division, as the case may be. It is not to be used in presenting or appealing a claim or grievance to management of the railroad.

The BLET Bylaws provide that in an emergency, a claim or grievance involving a contract interpretation, dismissal, suspension or other emergency cases, may be filed directly with the local chairman. In all other cases, claims or grievances must be referred to the local division.

The BLET Bylaws also provide that a claim or grievance must be accompanied by a full statement of facts.

Claims or grievances must be filed with management of the railroad within certain time limits, as provided by individual collective bargaining agreements. Therefore, each aggrieved employee should make certain that his/her claim, including rejected time slips, or grievance is filed with the local chairman or local division in ample time for it to be prepared properly and presented and/or appealed to the proper carrier officer within the specific time limits.

Please Note: to use this form as a CSX or NS member, you must submit for handling within 30 days of the railroad declining the original claim. If you are outside the 30 day window, please contact your local chairman for further instruction.
