The Teamsters Rail Conference's "Safe Rails / Secure America Campaign" has been nominated for a "BENNY" Award by the Business Ethics Network, which recognizes an outstanding achievement in a campaign.

The Business Ethics Network believes that those activists and organizations whose results are especially outstanding deserve to be recognized by their peers. They hope the nominated campaigns serve as an inspiration and model for those who follow.

The BENNY Award is awarded annually for new victories in corporate campaigning, where victory is defined as the realization of a significant commitment or actual change in policy by a targeted corporation or industry. This may also include a significant legislative or policy change prompted by corporate campaigning that improves the social, environmental, financial or political practices of corporations.

For the Safe Rails / Secure America, the Teamsters Rail Conference developed a comprehensive campaign plan. Over the past two years, we have implemented that plan which required coordination with Local and General Chairmen, State and National Legislative Chairmen, to put the individual elements into motion through their local and national press, and bring it to their local and national elected officials.
