Union Pacific conductors from the North Little Rock and Louisiana hub are urging the resignation of General Chairman Joey Cornelius due to a failure to uphold his responsibilities in advocating effectively for the conductors within the SMART Transportation Division (SMART TD) Union. Conductors across Louisiana and North Little Rock have placed significant trust in their leaders to ensure their rights, safety, and working conditions are relentlessly safeguarded. However, recent events have shown a glaring neglect of duty—manifested through inadequate representation and a consistent failure to address the pressing concerns of conductors in these regions.

Under Joey Cornelius's leadership, many conductors feel their voices are not being heard. Crucial issues such as excessive working hours, inadequate safety measures, and fair wage negotiations remain unaddressed, causing a continuous strain on the workforce. This lack of action not only jeopardizes the wellbeing and livelihoods of these workers but also undermines the integrity of the union and its foundational goals.

An effective leader should represent the interests of the members, facilitate transparent communication, and actively engage with workforce issues. Joey Cornelius's inability to fulfill these expectations is a breach of trust—to both the conductors who rely on the union for support and the principles on which the union stands.

With the safety, rights, and job satisfaction of Union Pacific conductors at risk, it is essential for Joey Cornelius to resign. His resignation will open the path for a new leadership that prioritizes the needs of the conductors, ensures effective advocacy, and reinvigorates the union's role in promoting better working conditions and fair representation.

The conductors of the North Little Rock and Louisiana hub urge the leadership of the SMART TD Union to act decisively. This resignation will foster a much-needed change, restoring faith in the union and ensuring that it remains true to its mission of upholding the rights and welfare of its members.
